   Sorry, didn;t mean to annoy Mrs Penguin; anyway - I am able share the    
   files on the Windows PCs thanks to previous posts; it's easy peasy isn't    
        it? Thanks for your reply too.   
      
   I also got a WebCam to work; not the Microsoft one but a different model    
   that was lying arounf - it worked str8 from the box with Camorama.   
      
   thanks again
