Duh, I forgot you could do that in zip files :)

Sorry, not yet. I'm working on ldraw webring images at this moment, and I
gotta do some ldraw.org banners and little linking images. When the OMR is
up I should be able to do those right quick.

Ok, that's good. I'm having a database made that either runs on my machine
locally or on zacktron.com that will generate html pages when the OMR is
updated (by entering data in the database) I think I'll break it down to
subtheme then... sounds like it will make the most sense. It will also be
searchable.
So I suppose it would be pretty easy to come up with an entry format for
the omr files... once the ring is set up and I have taken a few days off I
suppose I could whip up a template.
