This is all but a good thing. Currently, binary backends provided by the manufacturers are nothing more than a total annoyance. They're crappy, non-debuggable, under-documented, badly written, badly tested, and available for Linux/i386 only. Encouraging binary backends undermines the efforts done by backends developers over the past years to obtain specification/documentation from the manufacturers. Think twice, please. You're actually actively harming both SANE and the users by doing so. JB. -- Julien BLACHE <http://www.jblache.org> <jb at jblache.org> GPG KeyID 0xF5D65169
