Well, I dug out the install disk and tried it on this computer (Athlon 64 
with Win XP Pro)  It installed OK, but every time I run it the thing messes 
up the colors on the screen and the viewer does absolutely nothing even when 
following the directions, step-by-step.  As I recall it worked the same way 
the first time I installed it, but without the colors messing up.

The things are nothing but a bunch of TIFFs by year and month, but they 
aren't coming up very handy.
