Are there other tools available? I tried Quickread (for windows), but 
it only gave me a beta expired (or something like that) error. 
ColorshopX will read in scanning mode, but it doesn't know anything 
about the chart, so if you scan very slow, you get extra reads, and 
if you scan too faster, you don't get all the patches. Too bad GMB 
won't release a very basic reader that works in both scanning mode, 
and in single read mode, just like Xrite's Toolcrib utility.
