Hi,
<BR>
<P>this is a draft of a manual page for sane. It can be read with
<BR>
&quot;nroff -man sane.man|less&quot; (at least on my GNU/Linux system).
<BR>
<P>It's purpose:
<BR>
<P>* Short summary about SANE
<BR>
* Where to find more information on various aspects of SANE
<BR>
* Solutions to frequent problems
<BR>
<P>Everything concerning installation will stay in README.
<BR>
<P>Please check the man page. Any spelling mistakes? Something that can
<BR>
be said in clearer words? A Phrase that wouldn't be used in English
<BR>
(I'm German :-)) Anything missing? Backend maintainers may want to
<BR>
update their entries in this man page.
<BR>
<P>I wasn't sure if I should add the SANE API calls but I think that
<BR>
wouldn't help because a programmer must read the standard in any case and
<BR>
it would make the man page even longer.
<BR>
<P>What about the chapter for such a kind of man page? The backends are
<BR>
in 5, probably because of their configuration files. Maybe 3? But no
<BR>
library call is named in the manual page.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
