      I've just hacked up a program that generates an html parts-list (with 
pictures) that bears an uncanny resemblance to the one found at Lutz 
Uhlmann's page (http://titan.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~uhlmann/partlst2.html) 
and can also be told to generate a list with used-defined classifications to 
produce output similar to the lugnet.com partsref. 
 
The main reason was so that I could get a viewable list of all (and only) 
the parts in my Ldraw/Parts directory... it works very nicely indeed :) 
 
What it does: 
* Scans a specified directory for dat files 
* Runs ldlite to generate a bmp 
* Runs Image Magick's 'convert' program (don't worry, it's freeware) to turn 
it into a low-color gif (and making it 90% smaller) 
* Adds an appropriate line to the relevant htm file 
* Doesn't bother to generate an image that already exists (which makes 
're-scanning' your parts directory fairly painless)
