Re: Network Monitor applet manual

[Breda McColgan <Breda McColgan Sun COM>]

Hi Mark,

the approach you've suggested has the advantage that the writer would never need
to update the images, because the correct images would automatically be copied
from the software. However, it might be difficult for the writer to verify that
the images are the latest? Would the actual images be checked out of CVS with the
docs?

Also, please note that I had to update the images to remove the background color,
so you should replace your versions with those in the help/C/figures directory
before replacing the latter with symlinks.

Thanks,
Breda.
