Has anyone used HSD's PowerScan software?

We are considering upgrading our scanner software for our HSD scanner. In
our opinion, Scan-X, which was bundled with our color scanner, sucks eggs,
especially when dealing with faxes. We contacted HSD about there new
software but they didn't have much to say about it, except to give us a
quote to upgrade.
Has anyone used this software before?? How does it handle scanning for
faxes? Scan-X always makes the damn page too large and we have to cut and
past into WriteNow before we can fax what we scanned in. On another note,
our automatic sheet feeder doesn't work worth didly either with Scan-X.
Hopefully PowerScan fixes this problem. Is it worth upgrading to
PowerScan or is there better scanner software out there??

I don't know if there's better scanner software for the NeXT than HSD's PowerScan, but I do know that it is in no way comparable to the old Scan-X software, which, I agree, was junk. This time, they did _lots_ of testing and fixing and improving before the release. PowerScan is fairly well designed and works well. One warning: it's not fancy in terms of either functionality or interface, but it seems to be a good, usable piece of software that does somewhat more than you'd minimally expect (rather than somewhat less) and does it fairly reliably. I'm _very_ glad we're using it instead of Scan-X. PowerScan is good. Regards, - Irving -- Irving_Wolfe@Happy-Man.com Happy Man Corp. 206/463-9399 x101 4410 SW Pt.

Me too. PowerScan is feature-filled and quite stable (At least since it left the beta stage it has been). -- David Lemson (217) 244-1205 University of Illinois NeXT Campus Consultant / CCSO NeXT Lab System Admin Internet : lemson@uiuc.edu UUCP :...!uiucuxc!uiucux1!lemson NeXTMail accepted BITNET : LEMSON@UIUCVMD
