! DCITU v1.8e [beta] - Digital Camera Image Transfer Utility for OS/2 !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
This application was written in my spare time from information
gathered on various WWW sites.
Previous versions of this tool (once upon a time, back in 1997 when I
was single and still had lots of free time on my hands) were called
"DC210" since it was originally written specifically for use with
Kodak's DC210 camera. More than 35 digital cameras are now supported,
not to mention the fact that it now has a graphical user interface,
on-line context-sensitive help, support for thumbnails, etc...!
_________________________________________________________________________

! New in this beta release !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
- scripts can be run in foreground or background
- "select all", "select none" and "select toggle" are now on a thread
to help speed up system response time with hundreds of images
- various small bug fixes
_________________________________________________________________________
! !
! Quick notes for those who cannot wait to get started !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
- type "DCITU.EXE" to start; there are no command-line parameters
- verify the options and select your camera type in Settings->Options
- click on Camera->Connect to get started

! Contact information !

The author of DCITU can be contacted at charette@writeme.com. I love
getting e-mail from people who let me know what type of camera they're
currently using with DCITU! (Hint, hint!)
DCITU's web page is http://users.uniserve.ca/~software/dcitu/index.html
Please consult the web site for up-to-date information, including the
full list of cameras and models that are known to work with DCITU.
I will gladly work with anyone who has suggestions or trouble using
DCITU, regardless of whether or not you have registered. My goal is
to write simple-to-use software that works for everyone.

! OS/2 revisions supported !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
DCITU should work with any version of OS/2 starting with v3.0.
_________________________________________________________________________

! Camera models supported !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
DCITU was written for use with the following cameras:
- Kodak DC220, Kodak DC260, Kodak DC265, Minolta Dimage:
1) select "Digita" as the camera type
2) thumbnails are only in grayscale (this is being worked on)
3) some thumbnails may not work (this is being worked on)
4) camera must be set to "connect" mode
- Kodak DC240 & Kodak DC280
1) camera must be set to "connect" mode
- Kodak DC200, Kodak DC210 & Kodak DC215:
1) infra-red transfers not supported
2) camera must be set to "connect" mode
- Kodak DC120:
1) albums not supported; images must be saved/moved to "NO ALBUM"
2) thumbnails are not supported
3) image delete is not supported
4) attach cable, slide cover to "ON/OPEN", click "FILE->CONNECT"
5) there is a bug if more than 12 images are in the camera (this
is being worked on)
- Kodak DC25:
1) also download "KDC_DC2.ZIP" to convert .dc2 image files
2) supports both internal and external memory image files
3) image delete is not supported
4) date and time not supported
- Agfa ePhoto, Epson PhotoPC, Nikon, Olympus, Sanyo VPC/DSC, Sierra
SD640 & Toshiba PDR-2 (cameras known as Project/Protocol "O")
1) some models may require a 2 or 3 second timeout period
2) some models may require the "alternate startup" to be selected
3) some models may require a pause between commands
4) date and time not supported
- Casio:
1) these cameras are no longer supported

! Use of this software !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
This application is fairly straight-forward to use.
Basically:
1) make certain your camera is plugged in using the serial cable
2) turn on the camera
3) set the camera to serial connection mode (if applicable)
4) run "DCITU.EXE"
5) verify the settings in the options notebook
6) click on "OK" to close the options notebook
7) select "Connect" from the menubar
+--NOTE TO LAN SERVER AND OS/2 PEER USERS-----------------------------+
! !
! If you mount a serial port over the network, you can download !
! images onto a computer while the camera is hooked up somewhere !
! else on the network. For example, on my home network, I have the !
! camera hooked up to serial port 1 of one particular computer while !
! I connect to a Peer redirected COM port from a second computer. !
! !
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
Starting with version 1.8a, a new command-line switch has been added
to allow loading the .INI settings from a specific drive, directory,
or .INI file. Use the parameter /i=x:\foo\bar.ini to specify the
file to use. One such example would be:
dcitu.exe /i=c:\apps\public\myfile.ini
Starting with version 1.8d, a new setting in the .INI file has been
included which is *not* viewable with the DCITU options notebook.
Open the DCITU.INI file using an OS/2 INI editor such as REGEDIT2.EXE
and view the setting called "Queue Size Increase". This value, which
defaults to "100", dictates how the message queue should be increased.
This number *must* be larger than the number of images that DCITU
deals with. Eventually -- as time permits -- a new control will be
created in the Options Notebook for this setting.

! Distribution and registration !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
This application is distributed as freeware/shareware.
- the freeware version of this application will work for unlimited
time at a maximum transfer speed of 9600 baud; you are NOT required
to register the freeware version, and you will still receive any
technical support that I can reasonably offer over e-mail.
- for faster transfer speeds, a registration fee is requested; when
payment is received, you will be sent a registration number which
allows you to use transfer rates as high as 230400 (on cameras and
computers that support such transfer rates).
For registration information, please see the REGISTER.TXT file.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT CAN OCCUR FROM USING THIS
APPLICATION. YOU ACCEPT WHATEVER RISKS INVOLVED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, DAMAGES TO BOTH YOUR COMPUTER AND YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA.
On a lighter note: I am not aware of any damages that _could_ occur
from using this application. I have been using it on my own systems
with a Kodak DC260, Kodak DC240, Kodak DC210, and an Olympus D220, all
without problems. Other camera models were tested by various people
contacted through the internet.
