PIL Headaches: Advice Needed

[Marc]

I have gone thru all the tutorials and read me's I can find, and I
still can't get PIL to work for me. At no point has it ever been able
to recognize any file that I try to open in all formats (.bmp, .jpg,
.gif, etc).

I've imported the two DLL's into my main structure. I've imported all
of the imaging .py files into the main Lib folder. The classes are
being recognized and imported correctly.

Has anyone else had similar problems? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Marc
