Did you read the post or are you trying to be clever? Neither xsane
or xscanimage have the same functionality as Imaging does under
Windows 95.
Imaging allows you to save a document in a multi-page tiff file.
View it in the same way as Acrobat or xpdf lets you view a .pdf
file and print it out. Typically I find that a 10 page document
scanned in lineart at 300dpi is about 500KB.
Think of it as a system for archiving paper based documents onto
a computer. The question was/still is, is their a Linux/Unix
program witl equivalent functionality.
