this is the legal and misc information included in the main page

Legal stuff? We don't need no steenking legal stuff...

Well, the perl stuff all has legal stuff at the top of each script. In addition to those little comments, we have to officially say that all software is provided as-is. If any of it crashes your computer, your car, or your hand (how do you crash a hand?), we don't take any responsibility for it. There's no software here written by horrible, mean people who delight in tearing up other people's computers, and we give you the source code for everything. Look at it and make sure it won't kill your cat if you're concerned. It shouldn't, but, like I said, if it does it's not our fault.

That being said, if you find a bug or see a good way to improve any of this stuff, don't hesitate to get ahold of the relevent person. We like to have nice, working code.

The "tux" logo on the linux page is Larry Ewing's design. It came from http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/
The Apple logo on the mac page came from a wallpaper at http://www.macdesktops.com/Logos.shtml
The "Flying Windows" logo will come from MS, when I find one.
The legal logo at the top of this page hasn't been found yet.
I created the 1x1 pixel clear gif on the main page. I expect a $100 liscensing fee for its use on personal pages, or $5/user for corporate usage. (That's a joke, by the way)


As far as misc stuff goes, check out CPAN for perl modules you need. www.cpan.org. You can also use

perl -MCPAN -e 'shell;'
and then do
install Net::IMAP
to install the Net::IMAP module. If you've never used the CPAN module, you'll have to answer some quesitons first, and you should probably do that as root unless you've got another user that's allowed to write to your perl library path. If you don't know, do it as root. :)

ActiveState perl users shoud instead use the ppm program to install packages (at a command prompt, type 'ppm' then use 'install Net::IMAP').
