Under Win3/9x you can access any hardware directly which is forbidden in NT+ (and Linux as well). If the program also runs on NT your chances are bigger. Additionally you need a native Linux driver for your scanner which will be used by wine. bye Fabi _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
