Sorry, I hadn't heard of SVN before, so I didn't know what you were
talking about earlier :).  I got the TortoiseSVN client though, and
checked out your newest build, copied it over the top of
site-packages/freeimagepy, updated my ctypes back to 0.9.9.6 (I'd
regressed again), ran my program, and it worked.  Thanks!

Next question (and what I'm using FreeImagePy for):  I'm loading a pile
of TIF's as thumbnails into a wx list control.  I load the image with
FIPY, convert it to PIL, use PIL's antialiasing thumbnail function,
then load it from there into wx.  However, when I'm do the
fipy.convertToPil(), it inverts the image?  I've inserted a
fipy.invert() before the conversion as a temporary fix, but is there a
reason for this?
relevant code:

def getHeaders(files):
	thumbs = []
	for f in files:
		print "Adding %s" % f
		fi = FIPY.Image(f)
		fi.setCurrentPage(0)
		fi.invert() #temp fix
		thumb = fi.convertToPil()
		thumb.thumbnail(THUMBNAIL_SIZE, Image.ANTIALIAS)
		thumbs.append((os.path.basename(f), pilToBitmap(thumb)))
	thumbs.sort()
	return thumbs

p.s. thanks again
