+This directory contains various tools that may be useful:
+
+ hotplug/:
+        Linux hotplug script and an automatically generated config file
+        (libsane.usermap) used to change the permissions on the libusb "device
+        nodes" in /proc/bus/usb/ when a scanner is plugged in. For newer Linux
+        kernels, you may need to use udev instead.  Please read the README file
+        in this directory for instructions.
+
+ hotplug-ng/:
+        Linux hotplug-ng script and an automatically generated config file
+        (libsane.db) used to change the permissions on the libusb "device nodes"
+        in /proc/bus/usb/ when a scanner is plugged in. For newer Linux kernels,
+        you may need to use udev instead.  Please read the README file in this
+        directory for instructions.
+
+ udev/:
+	Contains a automatically generated udev rules file. udev now replaces
+	hotplug and provides all the functionalities of hotplug. libusb 0.1.12
+	or newer is necessary.
+
+ openbsd/:
+ 	Contains example scripts for hotplugd(8) for USB scanners accessed via
+	libusb.
+
+ sane-find-scanner:
+        Attempts to find a SCSI scanner attached to your system.
+        Invoke with "sane-find-scanner -h" to get command-line
+        syntax. More details can be found in the man page
+        sane-find-scanner(1).
+
+ xerox:
+        A simple script to make photocopies ("xeroxing").  In
+        the script, you may need to adjust the device name
+        assigned to variable DEV and the resolution assigned
+        to variable RES as well as the paper with and height
+        (variables WIDTH and HEIGHT, respectively.
+
+ mustek600iin-off:
+        Allows you to turn off a Mustek 600 II N scanner.
+        Use "make mustek600iin-off" to compile.
+
+ umax_pp:
+	Command line utility to scan on UMAX astra 1220P,
+	1600P and 2000P, without using the backend. So that
+	scanner protocol can be tested directly.
+
+ gamma4scanimage: Creates a gamma table in the format expected by scanimage.
+	You can define a gamma value, shadow and highlight. 
+	Take a look at manual page gamma4scanimage for further information.
+
+ RenSaneDlls.cmd: Convert backend-DLL-filenames according to 8.3 naming
+        convention necessary for DLLs on OS/2.
+
+Maybe useful for SANE developers:
+
+ sane-config:
+        Show SANE version, linker flags etc. Might be useful for 
+        frontend developers.
+
+ sane-desc:
+        Generate SANE webpages (and ASCII lists) from backend .desc files.
+        Run "sane-desc --help" for details. The default lists are generated
+        in doc/Makefile. 
+
+ check-po.awk:
+        Print untranslated and fuzzy messages and their line numbers in the
+        source code and po file. Example:
+           cd po/ ; ../tools/check-po.awk sane-backends.de.po
+        You may need to adjust the path of awk in the first line of the
+        script. More documentation is in the script itself.
