From: Hugo van der Kooij &lt;<a href="mailto:hvdkooij@caiw.nl">hvdkooij@caiw.nl</a>&gt;<br>
<p>
Can the authors of the various backends give a brief note on all scanners<br>
they know that work with their backends? I will then make a page out of it<br>
and add some remarks picked from messages from this list to get a full<br>
overvieuw page for the supported scanners.<br>
<p>
<p>
Before you do that....<br>
<p>
Last week, I finished hacking up some scripts that would automatically <br>
generate such HTML from a standard "*.spec" file that each author<br>
would supply with his backend.<br>
<p>
David M. thought it looked snazzy. I assume he is going to make some<br>
kind of official request for these info files soon, although from his<br>
lack of activity on this list, it looks like he is tied up with <br>
something else right now.<br>
<p>
Enclosed are two such files, one for the microtek backend, and the other<br>
a completely generic example file.<br>
