It presents information from a database as a filesystem in - a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used - (originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as - "Artists," "Song Keywords," etc... I have since applied it to a student - roster database very easily). The directory structure is stored in the - database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database - structure beyond the table it requires to run. - </p><p> - Any feedback would be appreciated: comments, suggestions, patches, - etc...
