Description: API for scanners
 SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application
 programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any
 raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner,
 video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). The SANE standard is
 free and its discussion and development is open to everybody. The
 current source code is written for UNIX (including Linux) and is
 available under the GNU public license (commercial application and
 backends are welcome, too, however).


	Scanner Access Now Easy... S.A.N.E.. a project aiming to make
scanning easy on Linux, so if you own a scanner.. or are about to buy
one.. check out the page -> http://www.mostang.com/sane/ or restricted
to SCSI scanners except one or two parallels

	
	I -did- check out the SANE's page, too. It looks
uber-nifty. Maybe you should, too.
