Anthony's WWW Images
The image example documents show all the images
available in this collection to anyone in the world. Any other images in this
directory not displayed by these links are logos and symbols of use only on this
server itself. Please see the image index
for the image example pages.
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.
Site visitors can download a displayed image by pressing the rightmost mouse
button over the image so that a menu appears. A ``Save Image'' option is then
available in this menu.
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)
Directory Indexes to download individual images.
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 hacked, short-sighted, inelegant OS from the 1970's by the
name of MSDOS (which is a least better than CPM). Windows sits on
top of this instead of junking it for something better (UNIX?)
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...
- The program source for ``Gzip'' (a compression program, not an
archiver) and a unix tar archiver ``Gtar'' is available in the gnu
source area on your nearest major FTP site (Such as
Washinton Uni FTP Archive
- PC users can find both
GZip
and a Tar archive extractor
DeTar
or even a full tar archiver
Tar
binaries from the SimTel PC archive mirrors on all the major ftp sites
around the world (look under msdos, or simtel sub-directories).
- OS/2 Users can also get
GTar and
GZip from the
hobbes FTP archive.
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.
