daaaaaaaamn, that's a neat idea, actually.

*pondering* a date-stamp of the time of creation of the maps_list.txt file
would suffice if it can be easily compared. if they are the same, then
import the built-file and display via the cgi, else re-build the support
files using the current info and THEN display as usual......hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'll have to think about this, but it's a DAMNED interesting idea.
Particularly if this list starts getting out of hand size-wise. (ain't, yet
:), still the different sort choices of the 'live' cgi are not to be
dismissed... particularly if I add sorting by file-size, which I am thinking
about as well. each sort-type one adds another five files to the list of
'built' files. and if I add authornames to it as I eventually plan to.. it
just gets crazier. (:

I have a crontab running the 'updatemaps' script twice daily (which
basically strips the html out of the five mapslist pages produced by
NaliCIty's .asp code.) so that I can perform tests and whatnot and
comparisons between what's on the FTP mirror and what the database THINKS is
on it :) heh
