This chap works at a fische and printshop and the 11/34
they used for
talking to their lasers kicked it, so they're going to
replace it with an
>SMS1000 they have on hand.
They probably need to talk to Mentec
(
http://www.mentec-inc.com/)
about getting a newer version than they're currently running from the
sounds of things. Since this is definitely for commercial use, you
can't simply find a copy somewhere.
True. However, if the "fiche and printshop" replace
the broken 11/34 bits with working 11/34 bits, they'd
be fine, right?
All they need to do is find a bunch of people looking
to for a cheap fiche-to-good-quality-pdf scanning
service and they'd be sorted...
Excellent point! Geez, what was I thinking! The parts to get the
/34 up and running are going to be *far* cheaper than the cost of
upgrading the software.
