But so far I haven't read anything requiring this to work in both directions.  Did I miss something?  Does she also rely on an unmunger function?

No, you're correct, I only need the conversion to go one-way. The cron job creates complex URLs a mile long. The lookup file it creates has this format:

I download the cron lookup file early after startup. When I need to get a file from the server, I replace spaces with underscores in the name string and add the extension. Then I use lineoffset to find the file in a list of hundreds and extract its URL to retrieve the stack.
