This is super fascinating in so many ways.

E.g. the list of features that made webgen "the most sophisticated web catalog generator available" includes:

2. Webgen generates all the buttons [as images] in a site automatically.

3. Webgen creates all the thumbnail images itself.

4. Webgen has a wide variety of page styles. Our default [...] puts three thumbnails horizontally across each page. But there are already six other possible section styles.

I'm not saying they are wrong (this was only a year or two after browsers - actually probably _browser_ - supported inline images after all), but it's funny that "generates thumbnails" and similar were seen as killer features.
