The content of the CBAT and ICQ pages is maintained by Dan Green.
These pages were originally designed for the VMS port of version 2.4 of
Mosaic. A few post-2.4 extensions such as the center tag were
used, but nothing that would degrade the appearance for browsers that
didn't support these features. Newly-added or newly-updated pages are now
designed to be compliant with the HTML 4.01 standard: such pages can
be identified by the valid-HTML icon at the bottom of the page, showing that
the validity of the HTML to the standard has been checked.
These pages are also light on inline
images--we are considerate of users who may be accessing these pages over
slow (modem) connections! We are committed to keeping
our pages accessible to as many browsers, both graphical and textual, as
possible. You will NOT see any "Best viewed with" messages on our site...
These pages were brought online in the week ending 1995 Feb. 25. There were 1497659 accesses to these pages (as of 01:30 UT 1997 Aug. 17) before we stopped counting.
The CF webserver now handles about a million requests per week. Of this total, about 250000 requests are for CBAT/MPC/ICQ pages: this traffic account for about 22 percent of the total data transfer through the CF webserver. Of the ten most accessed HTML pages, typically eight or more are our pages. The cgi scripts on the MPC's own webserver are currently (2007 July 25, bearing in mind that it is currently northern-hemisphere summer) called more than 30000 times per week (and transferring some 300 MB of data). Peak usage occured in 2005 March, when on both Mar. 16 and 19 more than 31000 requests were served each day.
An index to the CBAT/MPC/ICQ pages is available.
