Are you meaning to use it to create a sitemap for posting online with
the site?  If so, that's not what I want in this case.  

What I was wanting was just a hardcopy printout of site layout to give
to the client in a report.  Also, nice little thumbnails of every html
page and graphic file would be nice :-)  I can almost get it in
konqueror, which generates an 'index.html', with linked thumbnails, of
each folder or tree (gad, that's a useful tool and I never realised it
was there until recently!).

Maybe the answer is in having to push my knowledge of konqueror a bit
more, but I was hoping someone knew a 'packaged' solution for me to
try ;-)
