This zip contains some hacked together files that can be used to implement a
simple webcam on an OS/2 platform.

8-01-97 7:08p 1573 3217 CRON.CMD

capture.exe is the graphic capture program. It takes 3 parameters :
capture wcast 1 filename.gif
ftpput.exe is a net utility for transferring a file using the ftp protocol. It
takes 5 parameters :
ftpput host-name user-name password -d directory filename.gif
hourly.cmd is an example batch script to invoke capture and ftpput together.
cron*.* are the files used to implement crontab - read the text file cron.doc to
find out how it works.
The crontab file contains a directive to invoke the hourly.cmd script once an
hour at 1 minute past the hour.
All credit for the crontab solution goes to :

All this stuff will be tidied up as and when I have some time.
