Description: 
	Loads NanoScope II and III images.  X,Y, & Z are all scaled properly.  
	Not extensively tested with every dain-bramaged file format that 
	NanoScope has come up with, but works with all that I use.  I've tried 
	to keep the NSII reader current, but the NSIII module is the most 
	up-to-date.  Assumes you're reading AFM files (all I care about); tweaks 
	are probably necessary for STM, etc; please send changes to me and I'll 
	include them in future releases.

	As of version 2.0, loads waves as raw integers rather than scaled FP waves.
	"JEG Z-Legend" goes through some machinations to apply the desired scaling
	to the waves.  
	I did this to reduce the memory demands of the images; "a megabyte here and
	a megabyte there and pretty soon you're talking about real memory".
	Call JEG_LoadNanoScope(1) if you want to restore the old behavior
						   ^
	In conjunction with "JEG Spectral Filter", you'll need to use non-integral
	waves, as the FFT converts to doubles by necessity and then the data
	dimension scaling is lost.
	
	Images can now be exported as NanoScope data files, assuming the wave
	note is properly formatted (which it will be if the wave was generated
	by JEG_LoadNanoScope). This allows you to do processing or filtering with
	Igor and then reload the images into NanoScope.

  !!! WARNING !!! 
  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	
	I have not had the opportunity to test this feature with the 
	NanoScope software. BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR DATA in NanoScope before 
	attempting to use it to import files generated with this package. I 
	can assume no responsibility for the stability of the NanoScope 
	software or for data loss that results from errors in this export 
	feature. Please _do_ tell me if anything untoward happens, however; 
	I will do everything possible to ensure that bugs are corrected 
	expediently.
