When I convinced Ben Ritchey to take on the NASA picture of the day stuff, I wrote a script for him in bash that would automatically grab the latest file, trim the extra text with sed, and finally zip the pic of the day, create a file_id.diz, etc. He modified it to work on his system/OS, etc.so
I'll be happy to send this script to anyone running Linux who can modify it
it works "today"... since I wrote the script, nasa has moved where they store the pic of the day, etc. etc... so much of it will have be rewritten, but at least it's a place to start if someone can take of the NASA fdn :)
Let me know here, or email me at janis@filegate.net.

Janis,
I might be willing to take it on if I can figure out the script (and where the files have been moved to!).
