I comment that I bought it 25 years ago, May 4th, 1998. Since then I've contacted Ed Hamrick several times for help and always got a prompt answer. Though sometimes a bit cryptic. Over that period I've used it on multiple different PCs and many different scanners. My version is the Pro version and still is, so I cannot comment on the cheaper, less functional ones. The Pro version outputs in a choice of several formats, JPG, TIFF, PDF etc. See the web site for a full description. Looking at other reviews it seems that 95% give it 5 stars and the remainder just 1 star with some very bitter comments. Hardly anyone in between. I'm giving it 5 stars because it works, works well, and keeps getting upgraded.
