I understand why Ed has gone to html pages for the 'manual'. Speaking as a former 'Help' author, I know that's it's a major task to keep a complete conventional Help file maintained and updated, when changes are occurring all the time. Obviously it's less important than the program itself, when you're a one-man show, and you have to prioritise.
Nevertheless I really miss the proper Windows Help file that we used to get with Vuescan, because you could readily free-text search the whole lot, and use the full indexing power of Windows Help. This is not easy to do in the current html format so far as I can see. My own solution is to have kept the Help file from Vuescan 7.2.2, on my 'Start Menu' next to 'Vuescan 7.5.5'. This contains almost everything I need to refer to, and a bit of intelligence enables me to guess the answer for current versions.

Maybe because Vuescan is still in its development stage no manual would ever be complete. rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
