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) about 330 Kbytes

where TAR archives are prevalent (ZIP is PC Based not UNIX).
This WWW Collection is a sub-set of that larger collection.
- Zip Archives of GIF files are, on average, 10 times LARGER than
the same GZiped Tar file. For the reason for this look at
GZip'ed Tar Archives vs Zip Archives.

system of 8 characters plus a 3 character suffix. As such PC users
will, in any case, have problems with files overwriting each other.
Windows 95 will NOT help as it still uses DOS underneath!
While I do not at this time plan to make the ZIP archive available again,
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...
