I don't recall what the acronym is , but it specifies an interface for three things. Imaging hardware (not just scanners), software (and drivers) for controlling said hardware, and programs wishing to call these services. It allows for a program to call the scanning software directly and then recieve the file back on exit. Or, it is possible (if the drivers are fully compliant) for the program to control all scanner functions. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
