XVScan adds scanning capability with HP ScanJet scanners to XV.
Version 1.16
If you've never used John Bradley's XV image manipulation
software, it's difficult to describe how powerful it is. XV
reads and writes files in a dozen different formats, provides powerful
color-map editing, window capture, color-space conversion, cropping,
image manipulation algorithms, and the list goes on.
With XVScan, you now have the ability to aquire images directly
into XV from your HP ScanJet scanner in a very cost efficient
(and more importantly time efficient) manner.
What's New in Version 1.16
1) Auto Document Feeder (ADF) Support
2) Web-based help
3) More error detection and reporting
The Linux version requires working generic SCSI driver.
It has been tested with versions 1.2.7 and higher of the kernel.
Only Hewlett-Packard's ScanJet family of scanners is supported.
The current version of XVScan is 1.16 dated 01/06/95 based upon
XV version 3.10a dated 12/29/94.
The ScanJet 3c support is now in. No new image types are yet supported
(the 3c is capable of scanning 30-bit color and 10-bit greyscale) as
XV only supports 8 and 24-bit images. 10-bit grey could be simulated using
24-bits, but 3/4 of the colors would NOT be true grey -- only 256 true
greys can be held in 24-bit TrueColor.
XVScan is $US50 for ftp or email delivery. Media (floppies, DDS 2
tape) is an additional $US15. Contact xvscan@tummy.com to order.
Payment accepted via check, Visa/Mastercard/Discover cards.
