Using the Project 

    To run the whole project, place the following files in the same directory:

    notes.py
    convert.py
    notemodule.dll
    run.bat
    prev.gif
    next.gif

These files are available for download in ZIP format to use on Windows NT.  If you wish to use this project on another platform, you will have to download the source code and compile the note module into your operating systems shared library of choice (see the Source Code section for more details).  You will also need to install Python, and place PIL into a "pil" Python subdirectory in order to use this.

Once this is done, execute run.bat at the command line or by double clicking it from windows explorer. Answer yes (or y) when asked to delete all the files in the web and print subdirectories. The input images must also be saved to the directory with the previously mentioned files. The input images must be in .tif format, and must be numbered in one of the following forms (the leading name can be anything as long as it's the same for all the files):

    1) notes.tif notes1.tif .... notes11.tif notes12.tif .... up to notes99.tif

    OR

    2) notes1.tif ............ up to notes99.tif

    OR

    3) notes01.tif notes02.tif .... notes10.tif notes11.tif .... up to notes99.tif

    Current limitations, only support numbers up to 99, which should be more than sufficient. Since this project is based on the scanner in the vision lab (3370C),  the normal input filenames will be in format 1 listed above. When you select an initial name such as notes to use with the autofeeder, the output filenames are notes.tif notes1.tif notes2.tif ..... notes10.tif notes11.tif .... notes99.tif.
