I understand. We are all on a budget. I wrote a Drag and Drop capable
AppleScript that uses GraphicConverter (more sharware) to scale pictures. You
could use it to create thumbnails. Have a Mac user use AppleShare via TCP/IP and
connect to my server (cmasi.chem.tulane.edu) to grab the script. I use it to
scale down the pictures that I use in my QTVR Object movies.

PS If you do use it, you can only drop files onto it, not folders.

PPS Sorry, I have to add this because it made me laugh. Netscape suggested
"girlish" as a replacement for "Gerlach". I'll add your name to my dictionary.
