Well, it's certainly not the ultimate in flexibility and not really finished, but I find it convenient, so you might too. Ruby programming tips gratefully received, I'm a Nuby :-). You'll need to find the related tools yourself (cjpeg/djpeg, jpeginfo, pnmscale). I use Debian Linux and they're all available as standard packages. http://homes.managesoft.com.au/~cjh/software/rpl/ -- Clifford Heath
