A question to all you netters out there... How does one get a scanner to work with Windows? More specifically, I need to be able to scan images from various scanners (HP, and others) into Windows. I will be using MS-C 6.0 (with SDK) or Borland C++ and need info on how to scan. Are there drivers for Windows that will do the trick? Or do I have to write a scan routine for every scanner on the market? Thanks in advance, Steve Hong (hong@ux.acs.umn.edu)

I think they make different driver modules for other scanners as well. I forget who makes TrueScan, but I remember seeing ads for it in the usual PC magazines. As to how to write a driver, that could be different for each type of scanner and most likely would be. You'd have to talk to the manufacturer of the scanner to get interface information and go from there. Good luck. -#------- Bob Bart - Performance Analyst 415-335-8101 ---###----- Pyramid Technology Corporation pyramid!pyrnova!rbart -----#####--- Mountain View, CA 94039 rbart@pyrnova.pyramid.com -------#######- U.S.A.

In article <149994@pyramid.pyramid.com> I goofed: >I have a product called TrueScan that came with my NISCAN/GS hand scanner Oops, I got the name wrong, it's Image-In Scan and Paint Plus made by Image-In Inc. (1-800-345-3450). It supports over a dozen different scanners and has a built-in gray-scale editor. My apologies to all who were misinformed. -- -#------- Bob Bart - Performance Analyst 415-335-8101 ---###----- Pyramid Technology Corporation pyramid!pyrnova!rbart -----#####--- Mountain View, CA 94039 rbart@pyrnova.pyramid.com -------#######- U.S.A.
