   The originator of this program and decipherer of the .411 format, Steve
   Allen  <sla@alumni.caltech.edu>,  has  this to say about the utility of
   this program: "There's so little image in a 64x48 thumbnail (especially
   when you have the full size JPG file) that the only point in doing this
   was to answer the implicit challenge posed by the manual  stating  that
   only the camera can use these files."

          64.
