I will stand by my statement that the scanners you find today will claim twain compliance. Some (such as HP) provide replacement files for the twain interface. The thing is that this is accomodated in the specification. It really is quite simple: if they bundle software that is available elsewhere, they make some use of the twain interface. They may fully support it. But they still support it. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
