Heh...when I asked Ed about support for 64-bit version of VueScan, his reply was that number of Linux users is so low that he is considering whether to even support the OS. Fortunately, in the meantime, he added 64bit Linux support, but I'm not sure what he would say to add FreeBSD support considering general popularity of Linux vs. BSD. :) Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: CDBF17CA -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: CDBF17CA signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So perhaps what is needed is for N FreeBSD users to say I'll buy it, if it runs on FreeBSD. Any guesses on how large an N would be needed to provide sufficient motivation? My experience (many, many years) says that the question is something different: How much $$$ do you need to produce (compile) a FreeBSD version??? 300, 500, 5000??? Money talks. If ou make this question to Adobe, they will never hear you, but a small company (Ed) may be he will. As FreeBSD comes out with a new version about a year (or two..) 7.x - 8.x - 9.x a version of the sofware needs to be done (compiled) seldom. Let's say the ammount of money that interests Ed is US$5000.00 I am considering this kind of approach, various: 1) collect money in the freebsd community US$10 each you would need only 500 persons 2) Found an org, and using tax reduction program to finance software: here is is possible...

If the program is well-written, it may well be that re-compiling is all that needs to be done. (And I believe tha goal for new .0 versions is more like 18-24 months.) 2) Found an org, and using tax reduction program to finance software: here is is possible... Any new ideas??? Yes: skip phase 2. Have a person with s good reputation agree to do the work - accept pledges, talk to the author, then collect and transfer money.

I would not like to keep Windoze for one app, but curious if it would be possible to use VueScan via linux emulation on FreeBSD? Sincerely, Gour p.s.

It's really puzzling how one-man shop can support write software which is so much better than any free software with support for so many scanners. Possibly because the author, Ed Hamrick, has more incentive than people writing free software? He has always been extremely good responding to my questions and requests regarding VueScan which I got originally for my Mac Mini when HP stopped supporting my old ScanJet. FWIW, I have been extremely disappointed with HP's driver support, particularly for older scanners. I had purchased a new ScanJet 5590 in April 2009 which worked fine with VueScan on top of HP's low-end drivers on my PPC Mac Mini running Leopard. When I got a new Macbook Pro in August 2009 running Snow Leopard, HP didn't have drivers for it, and their older drivers didn't work. Their web site said they would have Snow Leopard drivers in September or October of 2009, but they didn't come out until sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2010. For that reason, I will be looking at other hardware vendors the next time I'm in the market for a scanner.
