<BR>
<EM>&gt; What about OS/2 support? Is Jeff Freedman really working on this? URL?
</EM><BR>
<P>I believe Yuri Dario is working on this at the moment. I event tried
<BR>
to integrate his patches into the distribution, but did not find time
<BR>
to complete this. In addition to using sanei_config_read(), the OS/2
<BR>
port needs wrappers for all calls to fork(), and a simple network fix.
<BR>
I hope we get it in before 1.0.4.
<BR>
<P>[Oliver Rauch]
<BR>
<EM>&gt; We also should leave/add the backends that are not included into
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sane, don`t matter if they are two years old. It is better to start
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; from a 2 year old code than to start from ZERO.
</EM><BR>
<P>I planed to use the .desc files for this purpose. This way all
<BR>
available backends appear on the web page, and the users will be able
<BR>
to find the backend if it exists. I believe every available backend
<BR>
should be listed on the web page, even if they are old and close to
<BR>
useless.
<BR>
<P><P>Adding the .desc file is the least we can do for authors working on
<BR>
sane backends, and they should only be removed if the backend source
<BR>
is no longer available, or the author wants to take it away. Because
<BR>
of this, I was a bit surprised when the musteka4s2.desc file as
<BR>
removed. Was the removal coordinated with the author of the
<BR>
musteka4s2 backend?
<BR>
<P>There is also a BeOS port and frontend which should be listed in
<BR>
PROJECTS. I'm not sure about the URL, but I did find it earlier using
<BR>
google.com.
