You write:<br>
<i>&gt; I was wondering if somebody was working on a Win32 port of SANE. If</i><br>
<i>&gt; nobody is doing it, I can perhaps take it up. Or is it a SANE policy not to</i><br>
<i>&gt; support Windows or such ?</i><br>
<i>&gt; While I saw SANE only a few days ago, I have been working on TWAIN (and</i><br>
<i>&gt; its problems) for quite some time now. I have Mustek (PP and SCSI), HP and</i><br>
<i>&gt; Fujitsu scanners in my office apart from a few odd hand-held scanners. We</i><br>
<i>&gt; end up writing drivers, for these scanners, on DOS (!) as some of our</i><br>
<i>&gt; clients need DOS support and, expectedly, nobody provides it nowadays.</i><br>
<p>
Even though I'm a Linux user myself, I would welcome a Win32 SANE version<br>
(especially the NET middleware), as this would allow my wife to access my<br>
scanner over ethernet from her laptop.<br>
<p>
I don't believe there is any restriction with the SANE code which would<br>
prevent one from porting it to Windows. In fact, this has been discussed<br>
several times here, but there have not been the right combinations of skill,<br>
desire, and experience with SANE, TWAIN, and Windows to get the job done.<br>
I think this would be a very useful addition to SANE. It sounds like you<br>
have the skill and experience to do this -- good luck. Let us know any<br>
results that you have (I would be happy to be a beta tester).<br>
<p>
Cheers, Andreas<br>
