Assuming you "own" the web server that the images are being served from, AND 
that all of the images are in the same directory (or in the same directory 
branch area), why not just establish a new "higher" virtual directory in the 
web server

For example, if you currently serve images from a windows machine with base 
directory of c:\inetpub and your url now looks something horrible like

http://mysite.com/base/application/xyzOrWhatever/userdata/inventory/bigimages/catalog/jpegs

You could setup a new virtual directory of http://mysite.com/i (for example) 
that pointed to 
c:\inetpub\base\application\xyzOrWhatever\userdata\inventory\bigimages\catalog\jpegs
 to reduce the URL length by eliminating the higher level "constant clutter"

Ken,

You could use something like tinyURL to shorten the existing ones.

Regards,
John

Subject: jbase5211 : opening a browser from jbase

OS - Solaris 10 - ZFS file systems
jbase5211
Users predominantly on HP Thin Clients via ADSL onto user desktops on Microsoft 
Terminal Services.
Connection to jbase via Putty.

We currently open browsers (to jpg links) using hyperlinks in putty, but 
limited to 80 char urls. Is there a jbase function that will read a url from a 
jbase file and open the link on the remote users session?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks

K
