To use Qframe.exe you can simply run it as is, if your camera is connected to LPT1(0x378). It outputs a filename called output.pgm Here is a usage list for Qframe Usage: Qframe [options] (defaults) Options: -x width Set width (160) -y height Set height (120) -p port Set port (0x378) -B bpp Set bits per pixel (6) -c val Set contrast (54) -w val Set white balance (210) -b val Set brightness (200) -f filename Set filename (output.pgm) PGM is a universal standard for RAW images, use cjpeg.exe to convert to .jpg or some other command line utility. I use ncftp with it's netrc file to log into my www page, and upload a new image every 2 minutes or so. You could use this to take time lapse images or, add new images to your Digital photo album.
