My question is: Why would anyone _need_ SANE for windows?<br>
AFAIK, all scanners come with windows software. And _all_ of the new<br>
ones come with 32bit versions for use with W95/WinNT/W98.<br>
It seems to me that any of us who want SANE, want it for the specific<br>
reason to get rid of windows once and for all.<br>
Let's face it, scanning software is the last thing on the face of this<br>
planet that we need windows for.<br>
Myself, I've alredy deleted windows from both of my systems.<br>
Win3.1 from the 486 and W95 from the P150. My scanner will just be<br>
sitting here collecting dust untill I have either DOS or Linux software<br>
to use it with.<br>
