<i>&gt; I was just wondering if there was any ideas if someday in the forseeable</i><br>
<i>&gt; future TWAIN compliant scanner drivers would be added to the sane package.</i><br>
<p>
Could someone please add this to the FAQ (or is it there already ?) ... !<br>
<p>
TWAIN has nothing to do with any kind of standard for hardware access.<br>
<p>
TWAIN is basically an API allowing a program to ask the scanner driver<br>
to acquire an image. All the rest is left to the driver. Including making <br>
up the API. And as DOS/Win/MAC TWAIN drivers cannot be run on Unix normally,<br>
the mark "TWAIN-compliant" is no use at all for us.<br>
<p>
The naming of SANE is not purely coincidential ... ;-).<br>
<p>
