Just installed, it was a doddle: you need 'installpkg-0.0.1' and
'borges-0.2.0', then

  cd /usr/local/share/examples/ruby/borges
  ruby counter.rb

and then point your web browser at
http://yourmachine:7000/counter

It doesn't work with 'back' in the way I thought though; if I increment to
4, click back a few times, then click 'inc' on 1, I still get 5. But I have
a lot to learn about this framework :-)

Also I couldn't get pagecounter.rb to work as-is; you need to change
"counter2" to something which doesn't end with a number, e.g. "pagecounter"
because a request to http://foo:7000/counter2 seems to be interpreted as
'counter'.

Cheers,

Brian.
