<i>&gt; Rather than port SANE to Windows, couldn't someone write a TWAIN driver</i><br>

<i>&gt; Windows OCR s/w etc that comes with the scanner, provided they have a</i><br>
<i>&gt; Windows box on their network. It would also enable their Windows machines</i><br>
<i>&gt; to scan from any scanner on their network.</i><br>
<p>
This is mostly what I was interested in. Since the scanners always come<br>
with their own TWAIN software, SANE wouldn't be as useful for Windows.<br>
However, since I can't currently attach my SCSI scanner to my laptop, the<br>
saned backend with a TWAIN frontend would be ideal. The great thing with<br>
SANE is that once saned + TWAIN front-end is available for Windows, any<br>
SANE backend on Unix is now usable...<br>

Cheers, Andreas<br>
