Hey, Tom.

I maintain the NPDS site (yeah, I know ... yet another Newton site) and there is a public GitHub repository.

https://github.com/splorp/npds

> 1. This handy page http://npds.free.fr/docs/new/GIFServerSyntax.html[1] doesn't seem to be linked from the main page at http://npds.free.fr/modules/[2] - I'm not sure where I found it !

It is linked from the NPDS Documentation & Resources page.

http://npds.free.fr/docs/

True.

It has been on my list to convert those files to PNG or something a bit more universal.

And I realize that some of the sample links in the documentation point to my currently offline NPDS server.

Again, not very useful either.

> Using the GIF Server NPDS module itself seems a little unreliable, most of the time the images load *much* later or not all once I add more than one or two to the index page.

That may be due to the limit of concurrent NPDS connections that can be set in the preferences.

Any help getting the information and examples more up to speed would be appreciated.
