Hi Jerry,<BR>
<BR>
If you have some kind of map server (WMS, TMS) running then you can<BR>
'insert' tileCache [1] between the web page and the server to<BR>
serve up your tiles. You should be able to run tileCache by itself<BR>
but you might want to tweak the python code to handle missing tiles.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
I use WMS so my call is like a normal one .<BR>
<BR>
var lay = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("Cool Stuff",<BR>
"<A HREF="http://wardrobe.dhs.org/cgi-bin/tilecache.cgi?">http://somecoolinfo.somewhere.net/cgi-bin/tilecache.cgi?</A>",<BR>
{ layers: "Neat Image"} ) ;<BR>
map.addLayer(lay);<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hope that helps!<BR>
