[TriLUG] Image contact sheet software

[Charles Fischer]

I wrote a program that would look in a directory for image files (TIFF, 
JPEG, PNG and BMP, not GIF) and build a BMP output thumbnail image 
file.  It also output a text file with the image file names and some other 
information.  The program uses some proprietary libraries, so I could only 
send an executable version.  I am working on getting rid of the proprietary 
libraries, but it will be the end of summer before I have that done.

I have not used the program in years, and will need to get it from backups, 
and make sure it works with the current libc.  If you would like a copy 
contact me off list.

Good luck
