.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Run this script in a web directory consisting of all or mostly image
files.  It'll create an index.html of thumbnail images, putting
the thumbnail files in a hidden subdirectory.
.PP
It avoids unnecessary work by comparing the dates on already existing
thumbnail files and not re-creating them if the corresponding original
has not changed.
.PP
It also refuses to overwrite an index.html file not created by this script.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -r
Recursively makes index files for all subdirectories.
.TP -s
Specifies the size of the thumbnail image.
Default is 70 pixels.
If you want to re-do an already indexed directory but use different
size thumbnails, you have to remove the old thumbnails.
An "rm -rf .thumbnails" should suffice.
.TP
.B -c
Specifies how many columns of images.
Default is 5.
.TP
.B -i
Specifies the filename of the index file.
Default is index.html (some sites use .index.html instead).
