Readme and Downloads
To make downloading these icons easier, I have provided the following
archives of the available WWW icons shown ...
Gzip'ed Tar Archive (.tar.gz) for UNIX users. (~200 Kbytes)
NOTE: A link ``Zip Archive for PC users'' was discontinued
due to two specific problems.
- In particular zip archives of icons are about 10 times bigger than
a gzip'ed tar archive of the same files. For reasons have a look at
GZip'ed Tar Archives vs Zip Archives
- 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. This is not my problem but the fault of
using a 1970's computer operating system which is what msdos is!
(Fact!)
I do not at this time plan to make the ZIP archive available again, but PC
users can still de-archive the ``Gziped Tar'' by getting the source to
both the GZip compression program and a Tar Archive Program from...
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.
