mswc - Multi Server WebCharts 1.2
==========================================================
    ... the tool formerly known as mw3s

If you want a automagically created list of the most popular
webpages across several webservers, then tis is for you.

The tool creates a friendly web page which contains the
titles os the most popular pages and the dates they were
last updated.

Because the aplication is a client server thing, it can
gather statistics from several servers and produce one
list containing information from all the servers.

Take a look at http://www.dmu.ac.uk/hits/mw3s to see
example output.

If you like waht you see, you can find mor information
about this tool on my home page server:
http://engelberg.dmu.ac.uk

If you just want to download the package, use 
ftp://ftp.dmu.ac.uk/pub/netcomm/src/web/mswc-1.2.tar.gz

For all thouse who already have a copy, here is the list
of stuff changed since the last release

Version 1.2: 

1.The loggather code is now much more robust when it
queries the web servers. It will automatically exclude
any non HTML material from the Charts and determine the
title of the document more reliably. 

2.By using the return code from the server, the
loggatherer will exclude any pages which can not be
accessed.

3.The loggather configuration file must be defined when
calling the loggather script. This allows multiple
WebCharts by using different configuration files.

4.The WebCharts now also contains information about the
date each page was last updated.

5.The number of pages included in the Charts can now be
set in the configuration file.

6.Loggather MUST now be run from perl5! 

7.The loggatherer will work with the logscan script from
the previous version, but installation of the new one is
recommended.

8.New name: The package is now called "Multi Server
WebCharts" in order to remove a name clash with mw3
(Motif on the Web).
