*MastrScan was formally called SmartScan.  Both software packages
are the same except for the new name.

The command line interface for the scanner is as follows:

PSCANNER C:\SCAN\ S

This creates a file called CPCCHS00.000.  This is an internally
used bitmapped file.   The drive and directory represent where
the scanner software has been installed.

ESCANNER C:\SCAN\ S

Reads the CPCCHS00.000 bitmapped file mentioned above.  The drive
and directory represent where the scanner software has been
installed.

SDCONVRT CPCCHS00.000 (FILENAME) [/H] [/P] [/B] [/W] [/T] /F

This converts the bitmap file to the 8 character name given, and
saves it with the named extension to the named file format.   The
/F must be included at the end of the the command line.
