Title:          mcam
Version:        1.6.3
Entered-date:   2006-02-20
Description:    Software for the Video Blaster II webcam,
                using the Vision CPIA chip.
                This program allows you to display and save frames on almost
                any PC, from 386 up, using any kind of parallel port, and any
                version of Linux from 1.2.13.
                It can run both as a server and as a client, or stand alone.
                As a server it allows more then one client to connect to it.
                Also you can send text messages from server to client and vice
                versa.
                Remote control of camera settings, and recording of images
                possible.
                On a 486 DX2 66 with nibble mode (simple par port), a frame
                grab takes less the 1 second, and 3.6 frames / second on a
                small picture, with compression on.
                To install;
                Copy mcam-1.6.3.tgz your home directory
                tar -zxvf mcam-1.6.3.tgz <ENTER>

                I hereby wish to express my gratitude to Vision and all
                the people who contributed, as I used chunks of every thing,
                for the information made available, that made it possible
                to write this application.
                -1.6.3:
                Bugfix.
                In motion detection declared arrays static.
                Included stdlib.h and stdio.h in convert.
                Ignore any signed warnings for char * versus unsigned char * in compile.
