Thanks Matthias, |

How do I install it manually? install tells me: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# install |
| 21 |
install: missing file operand |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, I ran: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
# install recoverpics.c recoverpics |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Which didn't complain. What next? How do I run it? Is there any |
| 28 |
documentation anywhere? |
