Dunno. I'd heard he was getting married & that always makes for reduced "time to hack" adjustments. But, at his tender age, one really has no choice, but *must* take care of the "homework". I remember those days, faintly now that several decades have passed, but fondly. :-) I just did get his -pre4, and Alans -pre4-ac5 patches, so I might experiment a bit. My problems, when they pop up, seem to be more usb than scanner. Until recently I've had to reboot in order for it to re-recognize my camera, which uses the usb_storage module for access, making it look like a vfat file system. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.23% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
