If we don't get *.jpg etc. to work I really don't see the point, especially
since I have (or can get) C code that does the above. That (a binary) would
also be better since you don't know that Perl is installed on the system.
If you have a lot of time please by all means try and convert wwwman into a
C version suitable for Linux (and DOS seperated with #defines) I suggest
you start over from scratch since the code for wwwman is a mess IMHO (too
many cooks, and the person who wrote it from the begining hadn't programmed
much before). Converting insight is also something Michael earlier wanted
done (this should be a lot easier).
