Hi, what I have on my desktop now is "Image-ExifTool-7.98.tar[1]" (approx
10MB), which I can't do anything with. I have also downloaded Pkware
unzipping software and that does not help either. I read your comments
about the file but really I am not at all smart when it comes to these
matters.

that's not the windows specific version.

what you have is a .tar file, not a .zip file.

try the windows version, which is a zip file:

<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool-7.98.zip>

however, exiftool is not all that simple to use.

Yeah, that's a Unix tar file. It isn't going to do you a whole lot of
good under Windows.
Here's the homepage for Exiftool:
<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/>
Download the Windows executable (exiftool-7.98.zip) & follow the
directions on the page.

Something called ".NET..........." has to be installed first. Even
before that I had to download a Windows Validation program. It's all too
much hassle, I will just leave my film cameras in the attic!
