<P>OR &gt;The problem is that the Windows TWAIN API depends on the Windows API (IPC).
<BR>
OR &gt;The TWAIN org wanted to implement the same API for unix what would be
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;very bad.
<BR>
OR &gt;The problem is that on windows the driver is a part of the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;frontend-process and so all
<BR>
OR &gt;events have to be passed through to the backend.
<BR>
OR &gt;
<BR>
OR &gt;There already is a second TWAIN interface for the apple mac that is not
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;compatible to
<BR>
OR &gt;the windows TWAIN API.
<BR>
OR &gt;
<BR>
OR &gt;We suggested to create a unix TWAIN API that is as compatible as possible
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the WIN TWAIN
<BR>
OR &gt;but with some differences that use the special functions of unix systems.
<BR>
OR &gt;
<BR>
OR &gt;I still would like to add a WIN and a UNIX TWAIN API to xsane but in the near future I do not
<BR>
OR &gt;have the time to work on it.
<BR>
OR &gt;
<BR>
OR &gt;After all: it is not so simple like it looks at first.
<BR>
<P>This is true. If you think that there is another TWAIN interface, built
<BR>
for OS/2 by two software manufacturers (commercial software), the idea is
<BR>
even more complicated.
<BR>
<P>Ciao,
