Horst: I was not clear enough: We are entertaining the idea of scanning medical records that we are copying for other purposes anyway. Thinking to the future, I thought that we should likely create some sort of meaningful file structure for these scanned records: one that is a) HIPAA compliant b) user friendly c) less likely to become obsolete d) inexpensive e) linkable to future EMR implementation... Thanks David

Scanimage can scan straight into tiff format, output to stdout, so you can intercept it in your own application and do with it whatever you like, or just redirect it into a file. Horst
