            For the UMAX Astra parallel port backend, support for the Astra 1600 is
    being working on. It is expected to be finished by the end of April.

            The next step will be then inclusion in SANE. How shall it be done ?
    The only thing I see is that a couple of files need to be reformatted to follow SANE
    codin style.

            Currently, the 1220/1600/2000P backend is made of:

    - umax-low.c / umax-low.h : low level scanner access part
    - umax1220p.c / umax1220p.h : sane helper functions
    - umax-pp.c / umax_pp.h / umax_pp.conf / umax_pp.desc : backend

            All these files are in the backend subdirectory. configure.in is
    modified to detect availability of ioperm() and ppdev.

    Regards,
            Stef
