+A command-line tool to download picturs and control still digital cameras
+based on Sierra Imaging chipset and compatibles
+(Olympus, Nikon, Epson, Agfa and some others).
- You may do virtually what you wish with this software, as long
- as the explicit reference to its original author is retained.
+This is a library and a command-line frontend to manipulate digital still
+cameras based on Fujitsu chipset and Sierra Imaging firmware. The
+program is known to work with Agfa, Epson, Olympus, Sanyo and Nikon (at
+least CoolPix 900, 950 and 8x0 but not CoolPix 600!) cameras.

-This is a library and a command-line frontend to manipulate an Epson
-PhotoPC digital still camera. The camera comes with software for
-Windows and for Mac, and no description of the protocol. With this
-tool, it is managable from a UNIX box. It is quite probable that the
-program will also work with Olympus Camedia camera.
+The cameras typically come with software for Windows and for Mac, and no
+description of the protocol. With this tool, they are managable from a
+UNIX box. Bruce D. Lightner <lightner@lightner.net> has added support
+for Win32 and DOS platforms. Note that the program does not have any
+GUI, it is plain command-line even on Windows.
