having not contributed to this mailing list yet I'd like to introduce
myself: my name is Jens Scheithauer and I am working as a Software
Engineer in SCOs European Development Centre in Watford, UK.
I've started to do a port of sane-1.0.1 to SCO UnixWare 7.1. Most of the
changes went into sanei_scsi.c. I've mainly added code to the
sanei_scsi_open and sanei_scsi_cmd functions to call UnixWares SCSI
passthrough library functions. I also had to add a couple of lines to
ltconfig and config.sub in order to get the configure scripts to recognise
the OS. I'm not entirely sure about these config related changes. I'd
appreciate it if somebody could take a look to make sure that they don't
break anything. A tar archive with the files I've changed can be
downloaded from ftpput.sco.com/tmp/sane.
I've tried out different SCSI scanners (HP ScanJet, UMAX S6E/610s), and
they all worked like a charm, thanks to the great work of you folks! I
haven't tried any parallel scanners yet but I don't expect them to work
'out of the box'. The net backend is something else that doesn't work yet
but I hope to sort that out soon.
There will be a binary distribution of sane available, which will be part
of SCOs Open License Software Supplement (formerly known as Skunkware).
This supplement is basically a collection of open source software and
freeware products that have been compiled for either SCO OpenServer or
UnixWare. The url to the Skunkware home page is:

Any comments or questions? Please let me know!
