ECW Spy is a *free* utility application that lets you easily browse 
your file system for ECW (Enhanced Compressed Wavelet) files and view 
the details of those files. We developed it for people who create and 
manage libraries of ECW image files. It is not a replacement for the 
Image Web Server plug-ins (no ECWP URL support).

Features:
 
  * Locate all ECW files stored in any local folder, including 
    sub-folders.
  * View ECW images and the metadata stored in the file header.
  * Single click to copy any metadata value to the clipboard.
  * Use pointer mode to get coordinates from the selected image.
  * Save the image metadata to a text file or XML file.
  * Simple check for ECW Spy updates.
