As many of you know, we've been developing a mechanism to deliver lectures
via the internet. We began that process in QCTerm several years ago but we are
now in the process of breaking that code out into a new separate product, which
we are calling "QCShow."

In order to make QCShow be everything that we wanted it to be, we had to
develop and write a great many image processing routines. Because of that effort,
we also began developing a third product, QCPhoto, an auxilary program for
digital cameras, designed primarily for families, especially mothers.

Because of the market that we're targetting with QCPhoto, we don't think that
this group particularly wants the complexity of filters that inhabit programs
such Adobe PhotoShop Elements that convert your digital photographs into faux
watercolor paintings.

Rather, we're going to include several projects in QCPhoto that we think
mothers will particularly want: the capability to make calendars with the family's
pictures included for each month (all those years making calendars for this
group wasn't a waste after all :-), scrapbooks, greeting cards, and a rotating
picture display mechanism that will allow them -- and their relatives -- to
display pictures of their kids (or grandkids), their pets, and their vacations
on their computers.

We call this last project "Elegance," and we've finished a first draft of it.
Because we want it to be readily available to a QCPhoto user's relatives, it
will be freely distributed to everyone, whether they are a customer of
QCPhoto's or not.

Elegance is now up on the web for you to download, if you wish It -- and all
of its necessary instructions -- are at:

     http://aics-research.com/qcphoto/elegance

Complete explations of its installation procedure, theory of operation, and
troubleshooting guide are all on-line.

As always, we would appreciate hearing of any problems you might have.
