No, saned does only exist on Unix. You can contact the Unix saned from Windows XSane but no saned on Windows. > > By the way: Would it be possible to write a TWAIN-SANE bridge?

You can use scanners on a Unix system by a TWAIN application on the windows system with sane-twain. I want to us e.g. XSane on a Linux system and contact a scanner on a Windows system. But I don't think it's possible. Bye, Henning
