I looked everywhere for code that would take multiple text files and do
simple formatting on them and add them to a webpage. I ended up writing
one myself. The premise is simple, I needed a way for the monkeys hitting
the keys to easily add to the company webpage news section. Writing HTML
was DEFINATELY out, so I have them create a simple text file in windows
notepad and save it to a share drive. The code looks at the share drive,
gets the filenames, reads each file and formats the text - All on the fly.

NEATO FEATURES:

1. Totally self-maintaining: Instantly reads new news on the fly and when the
monkeys want it off the news section, they just delete the text file.
2. By using the ls command with -t, it automatically puts the newest news item
first, without a ton of extra code. Also, ls allows you to look at multiple
extensions and directories at the same time.
3. It can read from any mounted drive: works with Novell, Samba, NFS, Apple..

Text file format(I use):

First line is department,
second line blank,
third line is title,
fourth line blank,
fifth line and on is the news...
