I know I don't do this often enough, but I believe I am doing the right
thing here.

Unfortunately this creates my new 'faculty.dm.new' file but none of the
desired images.
I have a horrible creepy feeling that the version of perl is the wrong one.

Since this seems to happen to me every time I do this.
How do you create your icons/etc. ? Is there a better way?

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.

regards,

Stephen De Gabrielle

translation of macro file macros/faculty.dm completed
the translated macro file is macros/faculty.dm.new

To add your new interface translation to Greenstone you'll need to:
1. Copy your new macro file to your GSDLHOME/macros directory
2. Add your new macro file to the macrofiles list in your
GSDLHOME/etc/main.cfg configuration file
3. Copy your newly created images from
/var/www/ereserve/gsdl/collect/exam/images to
GSDLHOME/images/en/

Access your new interface language by setting the language (l) cgi
argument to 'en'
