Try it out - The Peeron Instruction and Catalog Scans Library (PICSL)[1].

If you have any comments or suggestions, be it new features or ways to make the
user interface better, or bug reports, please let us know!

Wowsers, that rocks! Thanks!

A suggestion I have is to integrate the scan lib into the search.

If you want to find a particular set now, I think you have to search for the set
inventory, then follow the link to the scan. Although you have pics turned off
by default for the inventory, that extra step does add a few secs (and
presumably some server load?), so can you allow "scans" as a search type and if
selected, skip the set inventory step? I'd default to "scans" while in the PICSL
but not while elsewhere, if that makes sense.

I dunno if scans is the right term but "sets" is already used... perhaps change
that so you have "set inventory" and "set instructions" as choices?
