    Readme and Downloads

    The above image example documents show all the images available to anyone in the world. Other image not displayed are logos and symbols of use only on this server itself.

    All the images given pre-converted to the GIF format from Anthony's Icon Library where they are stored as X bitmaps and X pixmaps. Please feel free to take a visit and download any and all icons you find there.

    To make downloading these icons easier, I have provided the following archives of the available WWW icons shown ...

    [grab] Gzip'ed Tar Archive (.tar.gz) for UNIX users. (~200 Kbytes)
    [grab] Directory Indexes to download individual images.

    NOTE: The link ``Zip Archive for PC users'' was discontinued due to problems. In particular zip archieves of icons are about 10 time bigger than a gzip'ed tar archieve of the smae files. This is because as zip tries to compress the individual image files (and GIF format is already semi-compressed) instead of compressing over the whole archieve!

    PC Users can find the gnu executables ``gtar'' and ``gzip'' to download the GZip'ed Tar file above from the PC archives on most major FTP sites. ASIDE: I am not a PC user, and as such do not have such a site on hand. Mail me some links to these executables and I'll include them here.

    WARNING: The filenames of the images in each of these archives are not limited to 8 charcaters, as such PC users may find some icons overwriting others as they de-archive. Sorry about that Chief!

    I have also written a small shell script called "images_mirror" which uses the lynx WWW client to download the above tar file and automatically unpack it. This script will allow you to set up a `cron job' to automatically download and un-tar these images on a regular basis for use on your server.
