Anthony's X Icon Library (version 1.3)
------------------------------------------
EMail: anthony@cit.gu.edu.au
This collection was developed from the need for a collection of small
bitmaps for both programming and X application icons. The library is
freely copyable and can be used for any purpose you may desire. I would
appreciate any new icons you may like to add to this collection and thay
can be e-mail'ed to the above address.
The sub-directorys are :-
std Icons (xbm) that are all 64x54 in size. This is to allow
X window screen displays to have all its application icons
the same size. Some of these icons represent particular
machines on the Giffith University network. These icons
are placed in the directory "/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/std"
at this site. See also "README.xrdb" and README.twmrc.
bw-32 Black & White icons that are all 32x32 in size.
bw-48 Black & White icons that are all 48x48 in size.
bw-64 Black & White icons that are all 64x64 in size.
bw-misc Black & White icons of miscellanous size.

specific programs. This includes icons for landscapes,

purposes. See the README.prog file in this archieve.

bits Bits & Pieaces which are not relly complete icons in
