    ball.gray.gif   renamed to  ball_gray.gif

These icons were originally made for Mosaic for X and have been included in the NCSA httpd and Apache server distributions in the past. They are in the public domain and may be freely included in any application. The original icons were done by Kevin Hughes (kevinh@eit.com).

Many thanks to Andy Polyakov for tuning the icon colors and adding a few new images. If you'd like to contribute additions or ideas to this set, please let me know.

• You can get these icons as icons.tar, 93k.
• Or pick which icons you want separately.
• A srm.conf file for use with NCSA's httpd or Apache.
