About the list file
    The list file(default is album.lst) is a normal text file and file name, title and comment are separated by a comma and put them each line
    There is no limitation of photo image number. You can put as you like.
    There is no limitation of title or comment length.
    In default, you can use the CGI without a list file. In this case, the images in the image direcotry(the same directory as there CGI located in the easy mode) will be displayed alphabetical order and title will be the file name of the image file.
    If you specify file names only in the list file and you do not specify title nor comments, the CGI works and the file name of the photo will be shown as the title of the photo image.B
    '#' in the head of a line will be a comment.
