<i>&gt; From what I gather by skimming over the TWAIN docs, it is calling functions</i><br>
<i>&gt; from DLLs using a tokenized, single-entry-point system. </i><br>
<i>&gt; This is conceptually similar to using a streamed interface and could</i><br>
<i>&gt; probably be easily transformed into that. </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Of course using pipes is the simplest way to do it, but as far as I know there</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; are no pipes on Windows and Mac.</i><br>
<i>&gt; We are talking about interfacing SANE frontends from a TWAIN layer. That is,</i><br>
<i>&gt; we are talking about an environment, where SANE frontends can run. That</i><br>
<i>&gt; assumes we have something like Cygwin or similar, which gives us Posixish</i><br>
<i>&gt; features. For a fully native solution, other communication paths are</i><br>
<i>&gt; possible, as streamed transfers can take place on about any medium.</i><br>
<p>
Just something that raced through my mind:<br>
<p>
What about using a TCP/IP socket. TCP/IP support is available on all <br>
current platforms as a standard OS component AFAIK. <br>
<p>
Just an idea,<br>
