Correctamundo, but allow me to add the following copy of a post I recently
made on just this very subject:

----

People always seem to be looking for ways to make thumbnail indexes of
a directory of images with a non-interactive command, so I thought I'd just
post a note here.  I already knew of the PBMPLUS/NETPBM "pnmindex" command,
which requires you to go through one of the package's native formats, and
generates a very basic collage of images.  I just discovered that the 
ImageMagick package also has a command called "montage", which will work
with generic GIF or other formats and gives you a great deal of control
over the output.  The montage is a good deal fancier-looking (for better
or for worse), and might be a useful alternative.  It may be better suited
to imagemapping, as the separations between the individual thumbnails are
better defined.

Both packages are linked off my T/I GIF Resource Page at the URL below,
or you can get them via FTP from:

	ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/netpbm-1mar1994.tar.gz
and	ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/ImageMagick/
