 Rexx Post Processing 


 The rexx procedure USBCAM.CMD uses GBMSIZE.EXE (part of GBM Tools) to convert
 the snapshot into a portable network graphics when you remove the /* and */
 from the following line:

 /*'gbmsize.exe usbcam.bmp usbcam.png'*/

 Any string returned by USBCAM.CMD will be shown in a dialog window.
 The FAILURE condition indicates that GBMSIZE.EXE could not be found.
