That is, if you tack # -arg to the end of the program name, -arg is taken to be an argument. # For example, if you call the counter 'counter-ord', '-ord' is considered # an argument, and an ordinal count (1st, 2nd, 3rd, ...) will be printed # instead of (1, 2, 3, ...). Note that counterord does the same thing as # counter-ord for backward compatibility. # # Currently recognized arguments: # # -f=font sets "font" to be the font for figlet # -lang=lang sets the language used to ordinalize to "lang" # -nc no count; don't to write the incremented count back to the file # -nl no link; don't automatically generate a link # -nd no display; don't display anything, just count # -ord make an ordinal count instead of regular # -doc=document override the DOCUMENT_URI environment variable # # Example: counterfiglet-ord-f=bigfont-nc # # This will cause the counter to call figlet as the output routine, printing # in a big font an ordinal count, without updating the access count file. # Note that the order of arguments is irrelevant so long as you spell the # file name correctly. It is generally assumed that the ability to take # different arguments/use different output routines is done with symlinks: # i.e. ln -s counter counterfiglet-ord-f=bigfont-nc # # More complete documentation can be found at # http://www.webtools.org/counter/ # ######################################################################## # # Thing that shouldn't really need changing, but are configurable anyway. # # Maximum number of times to try to lock the file. # Each try is .1 second.

Welcome....

You've arrived at Well Nowsm Health Information Service, a not-for-profit project of members of the Gordon family of Atlanta, Georgia.

Our purpose is to collect and disseminate information about natural medicine approaches to human health.

We're happy to answer questions posted to our BBS or sent to us by email; happy to answer questions sent to us by "snail mail", too; be sure to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you write to us, at:

List of recent additions and changes to our site. Check here often to find out What's New.
The BBS
We've temporarily closed our On-the-Web BBS, recognizing that changes in the Internet 'ambience' involving 'spammers' and 'name harvesters', etc., have made folks more wary of letting their names, addresses and words appear in "public places". We intend to revise our BBS/Forum and reopen at some future date.
The Store
(a stop for The Streetcar)


 All purchases help support the Well Nowsm project.

Our  On-the-Web Store  features foods and supplements from Now Natural Foods Company, at the lowest prices you're likely to find anywhere on this well-known brand.

Our Wisdom of the Ancients Shoppe offers that company's complete line of famous Paraguayan herbal teas, Stevia, and unique skin care produts.

Our Book Shoppe and Gifts Shoppe are presently closed for remodeling.
What's Here
Our What's Here page contains links to a growing number of useful and interesting health-related files. We've begun collecting "success stories" whenever we come across them. You may want to bookmark our site and check this page often.
What's There
Our What's There page contains links to other sites we've found valuable, useful, interesting or intriguing. This, too, is a growing collection and one you may want to check on from time to time.
What's What
Our What's What page features links related to cyberspace "campaigns" and other important issues.
