QuickCam driver

QuickCam driver

[beto]

Hi, 

I got a QuickCam on monday and transformed a
Linux program into a Plan 9 driver which serves
/dev/camera and /dev/focus. /dev/camera has
the same format than /dev/screen so most of
fb/* programs work well with it. For example, 
to display some video 
	while() drop '#C'/camera
or to get a bigger picture
	resample 1280 '#C'/camera | transpose .......... | 9v

It has all the limitation of QuickCams, but for
109$ is a nice toy. We found it good for producing 
face files.

If any one is interested just let me know and
I'll post the driver.

Hello!

I'm very interested in this driver. After reading your posting,
I immediately ordered a QuickCam and now all I need is your
driver. Please mail it to me, or post it, or put it on a ftp
server and tell me from where I can get it.

Regards,

	Henner

P.S.: Please excuse my impatience - I send you a similiar mail on
friday, but haven't got an answer yet -, but I really `want' this
piece of software!
