Hello, Via this mailing list I would like to announce the availability of the first version of SaneTwain.
SaneTwain is TWAIN compliant datasource which is able to connect to a SANE scanner backend. By querying the SANE backend it builds a GUI which can be used to set the options (or capabilities) of the scanner. It offers preview and scanning of multiple regions. SaneTwain uses GenDS by Dosadi for the TWAIN layer. The socket communication with SANE has been created from scratch. Some other source code from SANE is re-used. Binaries are available for download, source code is available on request. Borland C++Builder and TToolbar97 are required for compilation. The binary package includes a datasource, a standalone executable and documentation. Disclaimer: I've written SaneTwain solely to be able to scan from within programs such as Corel Photopaint using my Epson Perfection 610 scanner connected to a Linux-box. I tested all options available on that scanner and the SANE PNM pseudo-device. Bugs are most likely to remain, and I cannot guarantee full support for SaneTwain. I do however believe SaneTwain is a far more useful package than the other SANE to TWAIN bridges available. For more information on known bugs and limitations, please refer to the documentation.
