Hi Wayne, Yep, I considered using PIL, but that package won't read so-called Group 4 Tiffs [1]. They're two-page, black-and-white scanned forms. I need part of the second form (i.e., the backside of a certificate). The page contains some hand-written info which needs to be presented in a simple data entry program, which I made using Tkinter.
The forms are confidential so they may not leave the company network. And the IT droids are somewhat paranoid so it's very time-consuming to get some new executable 'inside' the company network. Beeeh, formalities... :-( [1] http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000024.shtml Cheers!!
