Hi everyone,

When I convinced Ben Ritchey to take on the NASA picture of the day stuff, I
wrote a script for him in bash that would automatically grab the latest file,
trim the extra text with sed, and finally zip the pic of the day, create a
file_id.diz, etc.  He modified it to work on his system/OS, etc.

I'll be happy to send this script to anyone running Linux who can modify it so
it works "today"... since I wrote the script, nasa has moved where they store
the pic of the day, etc. etc... so much of it will have be rewritten, but at
least it's a place to start if someone can take of the NASA fdn :)

Let me know here, or email me at [email protected].

Thanks so much,
Janis
