scanning

[Brian K. White]

erm I guess I should have looked harder at that thing that I thought was 
an open source twain library. Gnome Morena. It's not. the Gnome in this 
case is a company called Gnome and seems to have nothing at all to do 
with the open source desktop environment and library set called Gnome.

I have found a few actually open source twain implementations but none 
are very useful without serious reworking. They are all part of 
something else and not easy to extract by someone of my microscopic 
skill. One is a sample app from the twain foundation itself, one is a 
python module, one is a gui app that's actually a kde/qt native linux 
app and probably not easy to port to windows, one is a module that's 
part of Gimp. The sample app from the twain foundation itself seems to 
be the closest to being possible to make into a simple command line util.

I'll keep plugging at it so that the putty fork can have something that 
works out of the box and so the public repository can include the full 
binary package installer.

Mean time I'll adjust the workspace file to not try to build or include 
the scanning util so at least the public repo can have an installer that 
has putty and the bundled wget. That gets you a terminal with file 
transfer and exec() at least, and you can drop in any of a 6 or more 
stand alone twain utils and use them via exec().
Maybe provide a few different versions of tsu.cmd that use the different 
twain utils, with pointers to where to get them.
