These can be used on the web, as well +as in graphic application programs (such as XWindow applications) which can +call the GCL interpeter internally and have it create a counter or a timer. + +Gracula is the compiler/interpreter for Graphic Counter Language, developed +under FreeBSD, though usable on any Unix system. + +For details about the language, visit GCL home page (www.whizkidtech.net/gcl/) +as well as Count Gracula's Gallery (www.whizkidtech.net/gcl/gallery) which +contains a number of sample GCL scripts and showcases various counter designs. + +GCL requires no configuration files. All you provide is graphic images and +simple scripts. Optionally, you may link the images directly into the gracula +executable. GCL can also receive input from external programs. A sample program +is included (sec2000). It allows the creation of GCL counters to display the +number of seconds (or minutes, hours, days) left till the Year 2000. + +Gracula is written in C and highly optimized for speed which makes it work +reliably even on the busiest web sites. + +G.
