No, I've found scanning software which works. I doubt there is any
software that doesn't have some bugs. However, it's the ratio of
bugs/problems in a piece of software that determines it's reliability.
Vuescan just isn't reliable. One bug is fixed and another two appear.
If you complain about the bugs you get an abusive email back. If you
paid for the software and it doesn't do the job (i.e. isn't fit for
the purpose as under UK law - and I'm sure there must be similar laws
in the US) then you get even more abusive email back when you try and
claim the purchase price. And no, a "free" download where one of the
most important parts of the software is di8abled (i.e. IR cleaning)
isn't a fair test. Of course, the reason he disables that particular
part of the program is because it doesn't work very well anyway.
