It half works on Kodachrome.  Doesn't work on B+W.  Can't imagine Vuescan's 
cleaner works any better on those either since it uses the same hardware in 
the scanner.  The scanner has an extra infrared channel that sees dust and 
scratches as a different density as the base negative (or something along 
these lines).  Silver screws this up.  Of course, I haven't really tried it 
in a long time, so maybe Hamrick is doing something else now.  I'll try it 
tonight.

I have a sample of Kodachrome that I just scanned last night that most 
definitely shows ICE cleans most of the dust, at the expense of a couple of 
small artifacts.  I did not scan in Vuescan - again, I'll try it tonight and 
report back.
