Yes, it's gotta be a perl script (or a ColdFusion custom tag, which I think
I remember seeing somewhere). Thanks, but I've got a bunch of desktop apps
that will do it, too.

It has to scale the incoming image to a certain width, maintain the
height/width ratio and save the modified version as a new file at 72
pixels/inch. In other words, the end result must be a new file that is a
predetermined width, let's say, 150pixels wide. Height must scale using the
same ratio used to scale the image to 150 wide. Incoming image size will be
highly variable, but will almost always be larger than the resulting
"thumbnail" image file.
Bill Houle mentioned "PerlMagik (requires ImageMagik)", which I'll look for.
Thanks,
Jack
