          configuration procedure will Abort!

        o You have to decide a directory, where you will keep all counter related
          stuff. This directory will have other directories inside. Default
          values will be supplied, press Return key to accept the default value.

          Try to Accept the default value, it will make your life much easier,
          because not much error checking is done to verify input.

        During installation, the directories will be created for you
        if they do not exist and if you have the permission to do so.
