I think you just saved me about 1980 rupees... [that's $43 at the latest 
conversion rate...]

It works, in fact it almost works too well -- some of the files I had on the 
camera were .AVI files, and as I told the program to only extract jpg files, 
it found and extracted /each frame/ as a separate jpg!

(it also seems to be finding the "thumbnail" pictures embedded within the 
photos, however they are all blank...)
