Ah.  Good to know.  Time to revisit the "why can't I get WINE
to work like the manual says" problem.  (I wonder whether it'll
behave any better under Ubuntu than under Debian ...)

Er ...

Oh please don't sentence me to just Windows!  Even with Cygwin,
that's just not right!  (And a Mac, for general use, is out of 
reach -- I've got one hand-me-down Mac that's officially supposed 
to be able to run OS X, but the friend who gave it to me says it 
"only _walks_ OS X" and suggested keeping Classic on it.  If 
another friend's startup gets off the ground and he hires me as a 
part-time developer, that will be how I wind up with a modern Mac.  
Right now I only use a Mac when spending the night at a Mac-owner's 
house.  I *like* Macs, but there doesn't seem to be much of a 
hand-me-down stream of them.)

... which is about $150 more than I can spare right now (yeah, 
money is scary-tight and I'm a bit short of being able to pay
the water bill, and when I _do_ come up with that much spare cash, 
I already owe it to another list member to pay for the *istD, 
before I can in good conscience go spending it on software).  
But the suggestion that spare copies that came with other stuff 
might be floating around could bring the answer there.

Okay, being able to properly handle RAW files in one step 
(instead of converting them with dcraw and then reading the
TIFFs) would be nice, especially since dcraw seems to lose
the camera metadata when I do that.

Not that I have enough CF storage to be able to afford to 
shoot RAW very much yet.
