first of all, stuffit expander is free, only the full suite requires
payment.
second, the windows version of exiftool is in a standard zip archive
and windows xp and later can unzip files directly without any need for
additional software. the unix version of exiftool, which is probably
what you downloaded, is a gzipped tarball and i suspect windows doesn't
know what to do with that and handed it off to stuffit. the mac version
of exiftool is a standard dmg disk image, but that won't help you much
if you are on a pc.

unzipping software and that does not help either. I read your comments
about the file but really I am not at all smart when it comes to these
matters.

that's not the windows specific version.

what you have is a .tar file, not a .zip file.

try the windows version, which is a zip file:
<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool-7.98.zip>
however, exiftool is not all that simple to use.

Yeah, that's a Unix tar file. It isn't going to do you a whole lot of
good under Windows.
Here's the homepage for Exiftool:
<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/>
Download the Windows executable (exiftool-7.98.zip) & follow the
directions on the page.

Yeah, I know -- takes at least 5 or 10 minutes.

You must have a very short attention span.

While it is not exactly what you want, but functionally it accomplishes
the same thing. Irfanview will append an image file with the IPTC
information. You can put information about the image in this file. I
don't routinely use it for my scanned images but have investigated the
possibility of using it.
The IPTC information is placed near the beginning of the file.

...it appears that Lightroom can add exif data...I just did a cursory
search and many related links popped-up...also:

and is is very easy to use. However, it's a demo version and only does two
images at a time, so I shall have to pay about �19.00 for the full version.
If anyone comes up with anything like this, only free, then please post it
here! Thanks everyone.

Just make the date the photo was taken part of the file name. No
reason to give up your film cameras.

If you give up that quickly, leave the other cameras and the
computer in the attic and ask your maker for an easier life.

Yes, the 30 seconds seem to be the outer limit for a download
these days. How did the world work when you'd have to spend
hours or days with a modem or even physically walk to a shop and
buy a physical package containing diskettes?
But, well, feel free to enjoy software that doesn't even deinstalls
cleanly (by admission of its FAQ).

Yes, that's why we all don't want you to use anything but a fully
automatic point&shoot --- preferably one that presses the shutter
itself or downloades pre-made shots based on the geolocation
(which you'll have to pay for extra, of course.)
God forbid you may use some manual process somewhere or even
shoot film and scan that! You'd have to *learn* tons of things,
it doesn't download in a few days --- in fact, you have to
develop film either yourself, a horribly complicated process
which only an ueber-god can think of accomplishing or give it
away for development! --- it takes a few days to start to grasp
photography and years to master it even if you work daily on it,
and there's no decent website to back it.
Now, scanning --- more to learn, more to try, takes much longer
than 30 seconds, you have to physically move the scanner to your
house (no downloading) and many websites purporting to know the
truth all claim different things.

For those of us who are not per hotshots, can you do a sample script,
which we could then modify to suit.
