	hobbes-icons-xpm1		hobbes-icons-xpm3
	-------------------------------------------------

This is a collection of over 3000 icons in XPM1 or XPM3 format.

The icons were converted from the Hobbes OS/2 archive at hobbes.nmsu.edu.
There were over 7000 icons on Hobbes, but many were duplicates.
I removed all duplicates (based on comparing CRC's), added a
suffix of .N when ther were name clashes, and tossed any icons
with 256 colors.  What remained became 3,382 icons which are
mostly 32x32 and 16 colors.

I needed these icons because 99% of the software you get doesn't
come with icons to use with your desktop manager.  Plus, with
WABI coming, all of the icons in this collection which seem
useless to Unix types now will suddenly become very useful when
you install favorite Windows apps on your Unix desktop.

If you have hobbes-icons-xpm1.tar.gz, then you have the XPM1 format
icon collection.  These are useful for the UnixWare desktop manager.

If you have hobbes-icons-xpm3.tar.gz, then you have the XPM3 format
icon collection.  Presumably, modern desktops will use this format.

Included in the collection is "readem.shar". This is a shar file
which contains all of the text files that were included in the
various icon collections on hobbes.  These text files contain
author attribututions.

If you want the converter program I wrote, write to me.
