FORMMAIL:

Web Page Form Emailer
---------------------
The Web Page Form Emailer is used to accept e-mail messages via your web
page. A user can type an email message in a form on your page, and the
mail will be sent to your mailbox.
HOW TO SET UP A BASIC FORM EMAILER ON YOUR PAGE
------------------------------------------
To set up a basic form emailer, simply cut and paste the html code below
and place it in your html document. Make sure to replace "username@gis.net"
with your email address.

out for the email to be accepted.
COUNTER:

This will count the number of hits to your web page.
Please note, this counter does not work with Web Hosting accounts
(www.domain.com). You may use any counter you like in your account, in your cgi
directory. If you would like to use this counter, you must download it and
install it your your CGI directory. If you have a web host account you will need
to download the counter at http://cp.gis.net/techinfo/counter.zip
Example:
Any files that have the counter must end in ".shtml", so your index file
should be called index.shtml and any other pages must end in .shtml
If you are unable to name a file .shtml in your operating system then
just upload the file with a shorter .htm extension and rename it with
your ftp program to end in .shtml
Where ever you want the counter number to go
in your HTML code you must put the following code:
