This program is FREEWARE

  OK, what the heck is it?

  It's a replacement for the "CreateNails.ifx" ARexx script
  that comes with ImageFX


  So, what does it do? 

  Features with a * are not available in the original script

  * It can start ImageFX for you automatically

  * It allows you to set default Load and Save paths

  It will create thumbnails for an entire directory

  It can create "remote" thumbnails on your HD for 
     non-writeable volumes (like CD's)

  * It also reads ALL subdirectories from any selected
    starting point (meaning you can even create thumbnails 
    for an entire CD at one time)

  (option) it can be set to skip pictures that already
     have a thumbnail in the target directory so you
     can use it to update directories on your HD after
     adding pictures to them, or resume thumbnailing
     a volume later if you quit the program in the middle.

  * (option) it can create new directories for your
    "remote" thumbnails.  So, if you are scanning a whole CD,
    it won't dump hundreds (maybe thousands) of thumbnails
    in the same directory

  * (option) it can examine every file found to make sure
    it is really an image file before attempting to load it
    into ImageFX so you can scan, for example, an entire
    AF CD, and it will find and create thumbnails for every
    picture found.  You can set it to check for specified
    file extensions, examine the files internally, or both

  * It corrects a bug found in the Thumbnail loader, the
    Thumbnail browser, and the NailFile.datatype which can
    cause a lock-up or crash with some "remote" thumbnails.
    The bug is fixed by altering the header in the nailfile -
    your existing programs are NOT messed with...

  * BONUS for NewIcon users - I've icluded a set of NewIcons
    for ImageFX in the archive
