I'll second Bill's suggestion. I've worked with MapScan enough to learn
that it isn't for the easily discouraged. It is robust. It wants to
contour every item in the scanned image, and the alphanumerics, and just
about every patch of pixels slightly different from the surrounding area.
It leaves a *lot* of work for the user once the vector layer is produced.
It **DOES** do the job though.
