Okay.  I take the bait, Dan.  What is the 'convert' program?  

BTW, what I would want to do with a thumbnail converter is basically 
identical to what KDE (2.2.1) Konqueror does when you access a file folder 
full of GIF's or JPG's--it creates little pictures (thumbnails) on the fly.  
Unfortunately, I have to say that Mike Heins is correct in that doing this 
would probably slow the process down entirely too much--people would get 
frustrated, click stop and be gone... Not so good....

So, I either need to create and save all of the thumbnails into 80x80 files 
OR just not have thumbnails.  I'll try it both ways and see how responsive it 
is.   

I think with the GIMP it won't take me too long to make the conversions but 
if there is an automated routine and/or a URL that interprets for the brain 
dead on Graphics, I'm all ears!   (The GIMP is for me perhaps THE number one 
most frustrating package I've ever used.  Last week, after trying off and on 
for nearly a year, I finally made some buttons of the right color and quality 
that I wanted.  I wanted to declare the day a national holiday...)
