You can find information about XVScan at http://www.tummy.com/. It's not free, but you can get it for $50US (it includes source code). I haven't used it yet, but am planning to buy it (currently we only boot M$-DOS/windows when there is a need to use the acquisition and OCR software which came with our ScanJet 4c). If only there was a nice OCR package which could run under Linux... (sometimes I "dream" of starting such a (free OCR) project myself, but... I am aware that there would be a LOT to learn before). Let's hope HP (or some competitor) starts paying more attention to Microsoft-free environments... JM -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
