Thanks for checking on the version of exifgui--seem to have 3.98.  It displays 
the data fine but no longer can change much w/o a hassle and often not even 
then.   Perhaps some win upgrades balled it up as it used to be fine though 
always  persnickety.  I had a couple minutes and tried 5.15 but couldn't even 
get that to run, though I had copied the version of exiftools into the new 
directory--perhaps it requires a newer version. 

Still all guied up, Mike

Thanks! How quickly one forgets. I used to be a whiz at .bat files. Now, I'm 
slow and uncertain.

Seems OK here for displaying EXIF, ver. 5.15.00. It does seem like editing is 
kludgier than before, though.

For fixed data for several files, especially if often repeated, the above batch 
file technique is far faster than 
individual editing. You could have a Send To entry named BigFoot, for example, 
that would fill in lens model and max 
aperture for all the shots with that lens in a folder in one swell foop.
