Michele,
Try looking on page 168 of your D70 hand book. It reads in part:
"Image Rotation"
By default, the D70 records camera orientation with each photograph taken. This allows "tall" (portrait) orientation photographs to be displayed in the correct orientation when played back on the camera or viewed using the supplied software or Nikon Capture 4 version 4.1 or later.
When the Automatic option (yes) is selected - Camera records whether shots are in landscape (wide) orientation, portrait (tall) orientation with the camera rotated 90 degrees clockwise, or portrait (tall) orientation with the camera rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
It sounds like if you select the Automatic (yes) option you should get an automatic rotation to the desired orientation. It sounds like the camera records whether it was turned clockwise or counter-clockwise, but I'm not sure that matters in a practical sense.
After a quick test I can confirm that it does matter as it relates to how the images are played back in the camera. Without the Auto (yes) the images are displayed 90 degrees to the desired orientation.
Of course your question goes to the download so you'll want to test that with your own setup. Also, you might want to double check that you are using version 4.1 or greater of the Nikon capture software, or whether you're using that software at all.
