Hi Will,

PK> What S/W did you use for that, Win or OS/2?

 WH> Right now, I'm using fotoget (from Hobbes).  You just have to make
 WH> sure your system recognizes you USB connected camera as a disk drive. 

Ack on all that thanks, that was the way I was looking at heading...

 WH> BTW, assuming you do get the camera recognized, even xcopy will work
 WH> with a lot of cameras but resist the temptation as the WPS and OS/2
 WH> will try to write ea info to the camera and generally manage to screw
 WH> it up in the process to where you lose what's in the cmaera. 

I have heard about that issue, but someone suggested that there was a way to 
get the drive to "ignore" EA support, but I have no details on how this is 
done...

 WH> I have also
 WH> used Nicks-something or other-program which is also on hobbes but
 WH> fototget is simpler.  Both will translate the file ID's to date strings
 WH> for names which isa a big plus.

I already have both of those so that should be useful.


 WH> In days gone by I have made money at everything from  carnival
 WH> roustabout as a teenager to free-lance photographer to pharmacist to
 WH> fighter pilot to college professor.  

Now thats what I call versatility........;-)

 WH> I am not
 WH> atristically impressed by the digital models simply because they lack
 WH> adequate control over exposure and definition for my tastes.  

Do you mean control over the equivalent of aperature and speed? 

I have found that it can be handy to massage the digital image using something 
like PmView, but I have not done extensive testing to see what is possible.

Cheers...................pk.
