Hi,

<EM>&gt; (1) all backends should read the config file using

<EM>&gt; port SANE to OS/2, and also makes sure all platforms handles any
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; line ending in the config files.
</EM><BR>
<P>The following backends use fgets (just a quick grep, maybe the fgets isn't
<BR>
used for config file handling):

<BR>
<P>Ok, ok, it would have been easier to list the backends that use
<BR>
sanei_config_read ...
<BR>
<P>The maintainer of mustek_pp told me he would fix this for his backend.
<BR>
<P>I haven't touched any of these backends until now because I think it is not
<BR>
only a quick replace of fgets to sanei_config_read. The line ending code
<BR>
(and other hacks) in the backends should be changed/removed also.
<BR>
<P><P><EM>&gt; (2) Some backends uses fprintf(stderr, ...) to print messages. This
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; failes when the backend is used over the net. I believe all
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; such messages should be sent to DBG(), to make sure they do not
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; interfere with the network communication.
</EM><BR>
<P>You are right. It looks like the following backends use fprintf(stderr, ...):
<BR>
<P>artec avision dc210 dc25 epson hp microtek microtek2 snapscan
<BR>
<P>I fixed the unmaintained dc210 backend.
<BR>
<P>What about snapscan, is there a new maintainer (Steve Underwood)? If yes
<BR>
this should be added to AUTHORS.
<BR>
<P>Some more small things:
<BR>
<P>&quot;missing&quot; manpages: snapscan, canon, coolscan, dc210, v4l
<BR>
<P>snapscan: If there is no active maintainer I could add a standard manpage
<BR>
canon: maintainer said he would update manpage + .desc but I haven't heard
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from him some time now
<BR>
coolscan: no answer (or mail was lost)
<BR>
dc210 + v4l: I added standard manpages now (please check and update!)
<BR>
<P><P>missing &quot;interface&quot; entry in .desc file:
<BR>
<P>artec: maintainer will fix this really soon now :-)
<BR>
canon: see above
<BR>
microtek: no answer from maintainer (or mail lost)
<BR>
mikrotek2: only one entry for a USB scanner?
<BR>
<P>sane_close () bug:
<BR>
artec: see above
<BR>
<P><P>By the way: The Mustek backend passes the scanimage -T test (directly and
<BR>
over the net backend) for all the Mustek scanners I can test.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
