For those of you who use NOAA RNC charts, they come as a single zip download with all the charts contained in numbered folders, and with some applications you have to open each chart to figure out what it is.
So I wrote a little script that digs into the chart data, finds the chart name, and renames the folder containing the chart so you can see the chart names in the chart selection dialog box.

I guess Matt must have taken down the FTP site - uh oh, now he will probably be mad at me for bumping it!

I guess this is the type of problems you get when you are too popular:
"Error (509)

Seriously dropbox? Sorry guys. 2GB downloads are hard to find a simple hosting solution for.
