Is there anyone who has got the SCAT/Silver Reed scanner who wants to
exchange information and/or software? In particular, I'm interested in
the format of the files it generates, above all *.pr files. These seem
to be run-length encoded, but not entirely. Anybody know?

It's a nice cheap scanner, but the documentation stinks! (No technical
details whatsoever). I'm not wild about the software either, but once
I can convert the files to another format, I don't care.

Thanks in advance. (The above are personal opinions.)
