Just took your advice as regards the win32asm community board.
Still have to figure out how to navigate them without getting
completely lost :) The first post I found was,

"Attached is a proggy which allows up to three webcams to be
viewed at the same time."

But I couldn't figure out where it was or how to download it!

The FASM site has an example of grabbing and displaying images
from a webcam in real time. But of course it is useless until
I can understand how it works and how to do things like that
myself so I can tailor it to my needs, one being to copy the
image to an array so I can process it.

At the moment all I can do is use a LogiTech SDK in a VC++
shell in which I essentially insert C functions. But it is
less than ideal in that the SDK is slow and I really don't
know how to make my own VC++ shell as the author didn't
want to reveal the steps involved.
