So the instance of code
In spite of cryptic error reporting, I found out part of what was going on with the Cardscan Mac software. The files from the seller had symlinks that did not survive the transition from Mac to Linux to Mac. Other stuff is also broken. Meanwhile, I used MacPorts to put SANE (scanner software) and Imagemagick on the Mac. Still some issues with sane. Preview, the provided image viewer, displays surprisingly few image formats, and MacOS version of Firefox likewise (no PNM, for example). Next, build a tiny little app to scan cards, enter client names, then file them on the server. We'll see how hard that is.
