                    Icon Library Sections and Layout
               ------------------------------------------

  Icons are very difficult to group in a logical way. This sub-directory
orginization represents my own attempt at this near impossible task.
Please mail me on any comments you have to icon sub-divisions, The
catagories are distributed in seperate compressed tar archieves.
Each section is archieved and distributed seperatly.

The following are some notes on some of the above sections.

   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.

   twm         Small set of icons for use as part of the TWM window manager
               title bar display. The number in the icon name refers to
               the 75dpi font point size that is used within the title
               bar. This is equal to Box size - 1. (See "README.twm" file)

   mail        Icons for showing the status of mail (xbiff & xmail progs)
                  *_new.xbm   for new mail just arrived
                  *_none.xbm  for no mail in mail box (or no new mail)
                  *_old.xbm   for only old mail in mail box (hardly used)
                  *_mask.xbm  for mask shaped windows (ie: xbiff)

   desktop     Icons for file managers and browsers (eg: like `xdtm' ),
	       in both X bitmap and X pixmap formats. These are further
	       grouped into the following categories.
                  appl    application type icons (general)
                  docs    document icons (pages with content graphics)
                  dirs    directory and folder icons
                  file    small icons for file listings
               Specific application icons can be found in the other 32x32
               sections of this library.

   bits        Bits & Pieces which are not relly complete icons in
                 themselves but can be used to create new icons. 
                 IE: flowers, animals, balls, pipes.
