<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Tue, 27 May 1997 08:22:24 -0700, "Todd J. Davis" &lt;<a href="mailto:tjdavis@plexiform.net">tjdavis@plexiform.net</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Todd&gt; Has anyone every though of / working on a SANE-TWAIN bridge?<br>
Todd&gt; Something which would allow a Twain-compliant program under<br>
Todd&gt; Windoze to receive from a SANE scanner on the network? Might<br>
Todd&gt; be useful in a cross-platform environment, and give some<br>
Todd&gt; creditability to the SANE project (which is great BTW).<br>
<p>
Yes, this question comes up periodically. The short answer: TWAIN<br>
essentially depends on a graphical user interface, which makes it<br>
difficult/impossible to run below the SANE api (which separates the<br>
user-interface from the device controls). If interested in the TWAIN<br>
details, see <a href="http://www.twain.org/">http://www.twain.org/</a>.<br>
<p>
What would be possible is to implement a TWAIN-SANE bridge, but I<br>
don't think that's very interesting.<br>
<p>
Maybe it's time to start a FAQ for SANE. Any takers?<br>
