(erielack) Just a quick note about the ABPR and long filenames

["J. Henry Priebe Jr." <root_@_net.bluemoon.net>]

I have modified the ABPR photo displayer to recognize truncated URLS (or even
munged filenames) so the long URL wrapping problem should be somewhat 
alleviated. If it finds more than one match for partial filename it gives you
a thumbnailed list of matches to choose from. It searches the ABPR day
directory for any image name matching the string after the last slash in the
URL.

These all work and will display the same image:

In that last one, p.cgi is an alias for abprphoto.cgi :)

Thanks to Bob Gillis for getting me thinking about better ways to deal with
the problem.
