I use jSesh - it's free, and seems to have all the functionality you desire.

I'm afraid I don't know how to use the program you have.

The second object looks like a wooden (?) ka statute, which I'd date tentatively to the Middle Kingdom based on the box-skirt and rounded haircut. It's difficult to tell whether the object is a fake o ...
