There have been a load of changes in the icons on Landon recently, so I
put together a viewer so you could see what was actually installed there,
based on the directory listing as of yesterday evening.

Go to 
	http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~aa146/TestIconsLandon.html

with Netscape, and the list will be displayed, with a link to the French
icon subdirectory.  One of these days I will try to write a script to
automate this :-) 

>>> Browsing these icons shows that in the English directory, the new
icons look pretty good, but the icon at the left of the row is missing,
and therefore shows up as broken.  This is the icon that shows if you use

	http://landon.chebucto.ns.ca/icons/

so it is NEEDED.  It should be an icon for a "gif file" or "binary file",
depending on how selective Apache is.

>>> I see no images for the Second-level page headers - is this an
omission or deliberate? 

>>> Was it a policy decision to go with black and white icons only?
On CCN, the Editorial decision was made that coloured icons represented
icons that are "active" i.e. live links, grey icons represent paths that
cannot be taken from the present location, probably because you are
already there  (by analogy with greyed out options on menus or dialog
boxes.)

>>> Using the link to the French Icon subdirectory, I will use the phrase
which has appeared here lately "Hopelessly Local", i.e. RCN specific,
although it does have the equivalent generic icons as are present in the
English directory. 

Look for yourselves, and consider where to take this from here.
