Err, thanks, but I downloaded it and a dialogie box told me I had been using "Stufit" for 865 days more than the evaluation period allows and that I should pay to be able to use it! I am mistifoed by this as I have never heard of "Stufit"! Any other suggestions?
Apologies, I just found Stufit on my pc, apparently I had downloaded it more than two years ago. I have now removed it. I will see about downloading it agin tomorrow. Cheers.

first of all, stuffit expander is free, only the full suite requires payment.
second, the windows version of exiftool is in a standard zip archive and windows xp and later can unzip files directly without any need for additional software. the unix version of exiftool, which is probably what you downloaded, is a gzipped tarball and i suspect windows doesn't know what to do with that and handed it off to stuffit. the mac version of exiftool is a standard dmg disk image, but that won't help you much if you are on a pc.
Hi, what I have on my desktop now is "Image-ExifTool-7.98.tar[1]" (approx 10MB), which I can't do anything with. I have also downloaded Pkware unzipping software and that does not help either. I read your comments about the file but really I am not at all smart when it comes to these matters.

Google "Microsoft Pro Photos Tools 2" (free)

Yeah, that's a Unix tar file. It isn't going to do you a whole lot of good under Windows. Here's the homepage for Exiftool: <http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/> Download the Windows executable (exiftool-7.98.zip) & follow the directions on the page.

Something called ".NET..........." has to be installed first. Even before that I had to download a Windows Validation program. It's all too much hassle, I will just leave my film cameras in the attic!

Yeah, I know -- takes at least 5 or 10 minutes.
>I will just leave my film cameras in the attic!
You must have a very short attention span.

While it is not exactly what you want, but functionally it accomplishes the same thing. Irfanview will append an image file with the IPTC information. You can put information about the image in this file. I don't routinely use it for my scanned images but have investigated the possibility of using it.
The IPTC information is placed near the beginning of the file.

...it appears that Lightroom can add exif data...I just did a cursory search and many related links popped-up...also:
Hey guys I think I have the answer "JPEG JAPERY 1.34". Just downloaded it and is is very easy to use. However, it's a demo version and only does two images at a time, so I shall have to pay about £19.00 for the full version. If anyone comes up with anything like this, only free, then please post it here! Thanks everyone.

Just make the date the photo was taken part of the file name. No reason to give up your film cameras.

You have to love the simple solution. KISS in action.

If you give up that quickly, leave the other cameras and the computer in the attic and ask your maker for an easier life.
As you will see from my later posts, I did eventually find JPEG JAPERTY, which downloads in less than 30 secs, does the job within seconds and has a decent website to back it. But of course, there are lots of nerds around, and people that like to pretend that they know everything, that simply would not want as simple solution that works straight away for everybody without any fannying about...

Yes, the 30 seconds seem to be the outer limit for a download these days. How did the world work when you'd have to spend hours or days with a modem or even physically walk to a shop and buy a physical package containing diskettes?
But, well, feel free to enjoy software that doesn't even deinstalls cleanly (by admission of its FAQ).

Yes, that's why we all don't want you to use anything but a fully automatic point&shoot --- preferably one that presses the shutter itself or downloades pre-made shots based on the geolocation (which you'll have to pay for extra, of course.)
God forbid you may use some manual process somewhere or even shoot film and scan that! You'd have to *learn* tons of things, it doesn't download in a few days --- in fact, you have to develop film either yourself, a horribly complicated process which only an ueber-god can think of accomplishing or give it away for development! --- it takes a few days to start to grasp photography and years to master it even if you work daily on it, and there's no decent website to back it.
Now, scanning --- more to learn, more to try, takes much longer than 30 seconds, you have to physically move the scanner to your house (no downloading) and many websites purporting to know the truth all claim different things.
