Hi gang!

    i hae a 20 gig drive full of image files (png, jpg, gif), and i would
like to catalog the file name and location programatically.  i'm wondering
if and how it may be possible to run a query on zope that would scan and
catalog a file system (even a windows hard drive), and populate a database
based on file name, type, size, etc.  the data entry part, i'm sure i have
down, my big question here is how to scan the hard drive.

Thanks in advance,
Shaun
