James & Edith,
I checked, and, as far as I can tell, the scf files when displayed in
trev 1.8b1 for windows do NOT show quality scores either.
Edith,
If it helps your purpose, in the mean time I know of one other viewer
that will open ab1 files and display the quality scores. It is free.
It is Finch TV - http://www.geospiza.com/finchtv/download/index.html
Cheers,
Malcolm
