-----------------------
Petter Reinholdtsen <pere at td.org.uit.no>, 2000-02-07

- why
 - use scanners on Unix
 - the problem with TWAIN
  - no network support
  - GUI and driver is one

- supported scanners
 - SCSI
 - some parallell port
 - some USB

- supported platforms
 - unix (Linux, *BSD, HP/UX, OpenSTEP, DEC Unix, SCO *, Irix, Solaris,
   AUX, DomainOS).
 - OS/2
 - partly Windows

- how
 - three layers (frontend # backend / sanei)
 - network scanning
 - dll

- configuring SANE
 - local scanner
  - dll.conf
  - <backend>.conf
 - network scanner
  - /etc/inetd.conf & /etc/services
  - saned.conf
  - net.conf


- frontends
 - scanimage for batch scanning
 - xscanimage / xsane (GIMP)
 - www frontend
 - winsane

- where
 - URL   http://www.mostang.com/sane/
  - versions (1.0.1 / unstable devel)

And if someone could follow up with URLs to open source OCR software,
I would be very pleased. :-)
