Hi,

<EM>&gt; &gt; What about OS/2 support? Is Jeff Freedman really working on this? URL?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I believe Yuri Dario is working on this at the moment. I event tried
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to integrate his patches into the distribution, but did not find time
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to complete this. In addition to using sanei_config_read(), the OS/2
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; port needs wrappers for all calls to fork(), and a simple network fix.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I hope we get it in before 1.0.4.
</EM><BR>
<P>Fine. Meanwile I added <A HREF="http://www.quasarbbs.com/yuri/sane2.html">http://www.quasarbbs.com/yuri/sane2.html</A> as a link.
<BR>
Or is there a newer version?
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; [Oliver Rauch]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; We also should leave/add the backends that are not included into
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; sane, don`t matter if they are two years old. It is better to start
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; from a 2 year old code than to start from ZERO.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I planed to use the .desc files for this purpose. This way all
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; available backends appear on the web page, and the users will be able
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to find the backend if it exists. I believe every available backend
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; should be listed on the web page, even if they are old and close to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; useless.
</EM><BR>
<P>I think we should add .descs and entries to the project file. I sent email
<BR>
to all the maintainers of backends I found in www. I will add these if they
<BR>
don't object to this.
<BR>
<P>I also added entries in PROJECTS for the backends with existing .descs which
<BR>
are not yet included in SANE.
<BR>
<P>I sent email to the other addresses in the PROJECTS file to ask if the
<BR>
entries are current or can be updated/removed.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Adding the .desc file is the least we can do for authors working on
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sane backends, and they should only be removed if the backend source
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; is no longer available, or the author wants to take it away. Because
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; of this, I was a bit surprised when the musteka4s2.desc file as
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; removed. Was the removal coordinated with the author of the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; musteka4s2 backend?
</EM><BR>
<P>The mustek_pp backend supports the scanner(s) supported by the musteka4s2
<BR>
backend (and some more I think). The original maintainer didn't have time to
<BR>
work on his backend so Jochen Eisinger wrote a new backend based on
<BR>
musteka4s2. I think he has changed and added a lot. I proposed to name this
<BR>
backend mustek_pp instead of musteka4s2 to avoid confusion. The backend
<BR>
supports the Mustek parallel port scanners. This series of scanners is
<BR>
called A4S2 (possibly ISO A4, series 2) but the ScanExpress SCSI models have
<BR>
the same name. If someone really wants to use the older msuteka4s2 backend
<BR>
he will find a link to it from the mustek_pp page.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; There is also a BeOS port and frontend which should be listed in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; PROJECTS. I'm not sure about the URL, but I did find it earlier using
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; google.com.
</EM><BR>
<P>I added this together with the link
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.intuiware.com/Products/BeSANE/index.html">http://www.intuiware.com/Products/BeSANE/index.html</A>
<BR>
<P>I will wait for some answers to the emails before comitting a new version.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
