ThumbIndex creates, and delivers, thumbnails of images.

When offering a list of files for downloading over the WWW, it's often convenient to graphically illustrate the contents of the file by displaying a thumbnail (a small GIF image) adjacent to the file name. For example, thumbnails are often minatures of larger graphics files; or, they can also be the desktop icon associated with a non-graphics file.

ThumbIndex program is designed to create, and deliver, these thumbnails. It's main advantage is ease of use; you can easily create indices containing thumbnails that point to their underlying image.
