This could be a syntax error... The first filename given AFTER the photo
command is the name of the file to PUT THE "PHOTO" IN, and LAST comes the
command name to run and it's trail. I too had problems with this program
where it created zero length "photo" files. Also all of the programs run
with photo either crashed, or caused my hard disk to become very slow and
make lots of noise for EACH SECTOR read/write until a COLD boot was done!
