 +  * [[https://github.com/philpem/pfr_dev|Reimplemented Toolkit v6.0 source code]]
 +    * Based on reverse-engineered PFR.DLL but excludes ProPalette firmware upgrade commands.
 +    * Ideally this needs to be merged with Toolkit v3.0.
 +  * [[https://github.com/philpem/pfr_bits|Camera calibration code]]
 +    * Shows how to calculate the X/Y offset and Zoom from the "tick marks" calibration chart
 +  * [[https://github.com/philpem/pfrutils|PFRUtils]] -- Film table decryption and analysis tools
 +  * [[https://github.com/philpem/PolaSpike|PolaSpike]] -- API call monitor
 +    * Uses PyDbg on an unpatched (!) Windows XP system to monitor calls to the Palette DLL and ASPI layer.
