Hi Roman,
I have noticed something strange since working on collecting the TOSEC sets. I would scan, then save a fixdat. However, I would look at the fixdat, and the results were sometimes totally off.
Check this out as an example. Here's the log file :

As you can see, what it has saved to the fixdat file is slightly wrong. The log was saved automatically once scanning was completed, then I saved the fixdat straight after that (approx 5 seconds).
There was another case where I had 4 totally missing sets showing in the scanner results, then only 2 of the sets saved to the fixdat.
Any ideas?
SK.
