Shucks. Very sorry to hear it, Geo!

I'm not familiar with Mac threads; however, the scanner should be easy to
put in a thread - what flex generates is very modularized already. All that
is shared between the scanner and the rest of Scribia are the fields in
CScribiaDoc. I assume there is some thread synchronization mechanism in PP?
If I started using that from inside the scanner to synchronize with the
reader, we're almost there.
