James:
I collect my Nikon 9000 film scanner and non-rotsting glass film carrier
today.
Is Vuescan still your software of choice over that provided by Nikon with
the scanner?
I looked at the Companies Act 2006 website mentioned below. Are you at
London Metropolitan University? What was its former name before attaining
university status?
John
