I've added some more detail about this to the <a href="#advanceduse" rel="nofollow">advanced use</a> section above, since people seem far less familiar these days with how to use command line switches (10 years ago it was more common!)

Awesome app, and i do understand that it's a dead project.. however, I was wondering if you could simply tell me how to use the switches.. I have read every inch of your site, and cannot figure out how to exclude onitors, change the way it displays, or any of that.. I can do the things in the "p" pause menu, but not the switches which seem to be where all the meat is. thanks! Hello!

I have it running 11 screens from one computer. 2 quad cards and 2 dual head Matrox cards distribute the images over the 11 monitors. I have a file of over 1100 images that cycle through randomly. It is a very impressive display and is very popular with our staff and the public. The only problem I encounter is that periodically, maybe 2 or 3 times a month, the program hangs up and has to be restarted, otherwise it is the best investment I have have made. Thank You Lawrence Starr Curator American Airpower Museum 1230 New Highway Farmingdale, NY 11735 Hello James,

Unfortunately I don't know if or when I'll have time to look at it, but if I do post an update, it will be available here. This is odd, and I’ve not heard of it happening before.
