Hi Mike,

I am aware of three commercial packages that do what you want. The names are 
OPR (DOS), UnGraph (DOS, from from BioSoft), and Un-Scan-It (Windows, Silk 
Scientific, Utah). All three packages were compared recently in Scientific 
Computing World (March ?). Prices are USD 300 to 400. Hope this helps
