## Hey, where are the images?

MiniVend is a CGI program, and if you tried to use relative image paths you would end up with IMG tags like

        <IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/simple/../whatever.jpg">

Not what you want. So MiniVend by default uses an `ImageDir` for a prefix. In the demo that would be `/simple/images/`, so image specs that have no absolute path information are prefixed with that.

In your MiniVend page, this tag

        <IMG SRC="ordernow.gif">

will become

        <IMG SRC="/simple/images/ordernow.gif">

and this:

        <IMG SRC="items/00-0011.jpg">

will become

        <IMG SRC="/simple/images/items/00-0011.jpg">

Absolute image paths are not affected, so if you reference an image at /other/images/whatever.gif, it will not be touched.
