No Geoff. Here's what you do:
Go to the Output tab
Set Output RAW DNG format to on.
The manual is a bit confusing, but if you go look at this it works.
DNG format
ACR usable
You owe Mark chocolates and perhaps me too :-)

Ahaa! According to Hamrick, the '"raw" file is saved as a TIFF. So it is the
data from the CCD sensor after gamma conversion but not otherwise
manipulated. Bob, are you sure you are getting DNGs???? Lightroom can be
configured to open jpgs and TIFFs, I guess, as that feature is in the latest
ACR version. No chocolates for Mark, I think.

What! Are we talking about Vuescan? I shall have to investigate. I never
imagined that it would make DNGs! I have the Pro version of the software. I
shall update it and check this. My play with this well pre-dates having any
digital camera or Raw converter software. I may have to send Mark chocolates
and flowers as an apology for doubting him!

Geoff,
I do RAW scans with my Nikon 8000 using ViewsScan. They are DNG files fully
editable in ACR (Lightroom freaks out at the size of them; about 540MB for
my 6x6).
Let me know if you want to know the setting I use. Or let me know if I'm
confused (usually the case...).

Mark, a 'raw' scan in Vuescan is not a 'Raw 'file like a DNG or NEF or
whatever.
It is a scan which has not been modified as much (not a linear file, I
don't
think) that you can reprocess as you wish within Vuescan options. The
benefit is that one scan can be a master while you try different options.
I
was never that organized. My preferred method with a scan is to capture as
much information as possible (16 bit, not clipped, not sharpened etc) and
edit it with Photoshop. Others like to do as much as possible with the
scanner software.
But raws ain't raws.

Geoff yes I know a raw scan and a raw capture are birds of two different
feathers.
I also like to to capture as much information as possible edit it with
Photoshop. But more than just not clipping or not sharpening.
Which is why I did real well last time I scanned with raw scans.
I had more juice to work with.
Example

Last time I scanned this Hassy neg I did not get all the white stuff by far.
Verichrome pan in Beutlers.
But maybe your right its no big deal as I don't hear to many people talking
about it other than me.
Maybe I made the whole thing up!
