Another camera control program

Dear all,

I've written a small program which can be used to control the parameters
of the CPiA based driver.  Using Tk/Tcl you can set most of the parameters,
while others can easily be added, and snapshot pictures can be displayed
and saved.  It is not much of an application, certainly for the end-users,
but still, I didn't want to hold this back.
One can download it from the page:  <URL:http://halderen.dhs.org/~berry/>
which might not be up 100% of the time btw.

It was still based on the 0.4.3 driver but I imagine it will work also
on the 0.4.4.  Furthermore it has no DMA support yet.

Of another interest, I've seen some reports on the possible status on SMP
machines.  My machine is a dual PII and I personally have seen no
problems with the later drivers (from 0.4.x up).  I have however
noticed that a /sbin/modprobe parport_probe is necessary getting the driver
to work, which after the /sbin/modprobe partport is not mentioned in the
docs.  This is probably because I run Slackware in which this is not
automaticly included.

Hope you find this program useful.

\Berry
