Will do.
Oh, also (which you may have fixed in this latest round of checkins, I haven't
grabbed today's yet) the cron Makefile still wanted to install run_queue.

Ah.. mailman/misc... I found mailman.jpg and dragonlogo.jpg in admin/www/images
(which seemed a reasonably place for them), but not the others. Because having found
some there, I didn't look in misc...

As the character on Saturday Night Live would say. "Oh. Never mind."
I knew earlier netscapes didn't do pngs. At some point when I installed Plugger
into my solaris netscape it picked up PNGs. But handed them to an image program
that couldn't display them. I'd seen that my attempts to do some PNG graphs (using
a PNG converted GIFgraph, since GD doesn't do gifs) failed miserably... Apparently
inline PNGs however, quite transparently to me, were working fine... I just went through
and deleted all the variants of the mime type and the external handler, and lo and behold,
pngs display right now. Go figure.

No, they don't. Shame, really. If they did animation and transparancies, there'd
mostly only be one format out there now.

Right. That change should have been checked in by now, so doing a
cvs<br>
