qcam.txt    Support for Connectix Black&White Parallel QuickCam  
A port of qcam-0.91 to Minix by Michael Temari   21 April 2000 

Also see jpeg-6b.tar.Z on this site.  The following is the original
README from the Linux version of qcam-0.91, dated 21 November 1996:

WHAT: Qcam is a library and a set of utilities for using the Connectix
Black&White Parallel QuickCam under Linux.  It does not support the
color version of the camera, and it does not support the serial version
of the camera.

HOW: "make".  The binaries created have to (generally) be run as root,
since they require access to the parallel port.  You can run them as
root, or do "make install" as root.  "qcam" produces single snapshots.
"xqcam" requires X, and displays a window showing what the Cam sees,
updating it as quickly as possible.  "make.darkmask" is a utility that
detects bad pixels in your Cam, and allows qcam and xqcam to patch over
them (further details in CHANGES file).  You'll also want to install and
update a "qcam.conf" file, especially the "port" field.
