I guess the designers would be happy to see SANE used on as wide a range of
OS as possible (if you go by the introduction page on mostang.com). I will
be starting with the 0.74 version (right now I am experimenting with 0.73).
I expect to base SCSI operations on ASPI. W95 has ASPI in its distribution,
so
it makes a good starting point. NT, we need to use miniport etc. so maybe as
a later step.
Any suggestions appreciated.
TIA,
Arun

Not really. The reason I plan to use SANE is to overcome the difficulties of
TWAIN.
Windows does not come into the picture. I need to use scanners on different
platforms -
Windows _and_ embedded systems as well.

Where (and hopefully, what?) are these EMX files ?

Thanks! I'll take you up on that offer.

That would be a real good thing.

I guess that will also be needed at some point.
