Powershot G7 CHDK and raw files

[Mass Hysteria]

I've loaded the chdk firmware thing onto a powershot G7. It now shoots raw and has some other extra nifty features.

Does anyone know of a good free program/plugin to open the RAW files with? I can't seem to get anything to open them.

Try 'dcraw" or one of the packages build on top of it.

If DCRAW can't read it send Dave the raw file and he might be able to help.
