MHX Image files

Suddenly as I am leaving, people are starting to find this forum and expressing an interest in the updates.  Why not start with the Web server/scripts/pages as the issues are well documented here (and many of the files are already posted!)

Here are the old IA5 images (split into a new hierarchy) with some new ones that I slapped together.  I am holding back the roughly three hundred new icons that my brother made for the commercial version (he spent a lot of time on them, many are animated, so I am not giving them away!)  Same goes for the (almost exactly) 300 MIME icons for the new email module.  In time those may be put back in the free version (they were uploaded last Fall when I was temporarily allowed back in the repository, but shithead deleted them!)

Anyway, unzip in web/graphics.  Then find the post with the actual MHX pages and put them in web/mhx.  Then contact me by email for a known good copy of my http_server.pl from last Fall some time (I can't give out the very latest one as I was working on it right before I quit running MH, so it is in an unknown state.)  The good news is that the slightly older one hadn't been touched in a year and a half and served my touch screens quite well (as well as outside visitors, guests, etc.)

Then read the post about the web/bin and web/misc files.  We will have to decide which to overwrite with my (years old) versions (many haven't changed anyway) and which to perform the minor surgery on (documented in minute detail in the post.)  I covered all of the bases with my previous posts on the subject.  I knew it was just a matter of time before intelligent people found this branch and recognized the disaster that is being orchestrated by Matt Williams, Tim Sailer, etc.  Speaking of Tim Sailer, thanks for getting the word out by forwarding my message to the mailing list.  You did it you beautiful feeb!  :)

And of course, IA5 will break in various places.  I covered that as well (in fact, I posted the fix for that a full year ago!)  Anyway, that is covered in the previous post as well.  The only reason that those perfectly compatible changes weren't implemented last spring is that Matt Williams said "But there aren't any interfaces without frames!"  He never figured out the whole "chicken and egg", "cart and horse", etc. issue.  So we break IA5 and if anybody really misses it, Matt Williams, David Norwood, et al. can then clean it up per my instructions.  Might as well start now...  Get to work you bums!  You haven't done anything in the last year but bitch and moan and defend Brent DeShazer's right to post vaporware movies.MHXimages.zip
