% COUNTERINIT - Initialize counter
%  
%   N = COUNTERINIT(NAME) initializes a counter of specified name to the
%   value 1 and returns the value.
%
%   COUNTERINIT(NAME) initializes a counter of specified name to the value
%   1, but does not return any value.
%
%   If no name is supplied, the default 'gccounter' is created.

%   counter_utility_data.
%
%   Example: 
%       counterinit('MyCounter') 
%   initializes the counter 'MyCounter'.
