seems to be much easier if we would provide the (still unofficial) Java
source code of DICOMscope 3.6.0 on our public ftp server :-) Here it is:
ftp://dicom.offis.de/pub/dicom/offis/software/dscope/dscope360/dsgui360.zip

I would propose that you also use the 3.6.0 version of the PDF documents:
ftp://dicom.offis.de/pub/dicom/offis/software/dscope/dscope360/docs/

In fact, DICOMscope started as a reference implementation commissioned by
the "NEMA Committee for the Advancement of DICOM". See our web site for
details: http://dicom.offis.de/dscope
Btw, as you can read in the user manual (version 3.6.0) we originally
planned to release the Java source code years ago:
=== CUT ===
Note: The source code of the current version is not yet available. As soon
as dcmtk 3.5.3 is released a new version of DICOMscope will be published,
too. The following compilation description is already prepared for this
version change and, therefore, refers to packages (e. g. dcmtk353 and
dsgui361) which are currently not yet available for download.
=== CUT ===
However, a major problem for the further development was and still is that
the original Java developers (from the Institute for Microtherapy, Bochum)
are no longer working on DICOMscope - in contrast to the underlying DICOM
toolkit DCMTK which is, of course, still maintained :-)
Best regards,
