Does that exist for FreeBSD ? All Twain does is give applications a 'defined' path to talk to the drivers for applications to pull in scanns. If you have a HP scanner and want to use Twain in ThumbsPlus, thumbs just uses the Twain interface to call the HP drivers. You are better off just trying to find drivers for the scanner and don't worry about Twain. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
