It will provide .ppm and .raw files apparently but the only ones that do anything are the .ppm and all I get is some colored lines? I've gone through man pages and whatever else I can find but I am not sure I'm using the correct command to download the images from the camera. Thanks.

It is just an inexpensive camera that was given to me, most likely because it didn't work, although it did work when I first tried it a couple of months ago? We have some others, I will try oner of them tomorrow. It's not worth any further effort ... Thank you. Bob Goodwin </body> </html>
