+
+
+This is an early Version of xsane for win32.
+It may have several bugs. It is not tested very well
+but short tests looked very good.
+
+This version supports:
+ - preview scan, preview zoom
+ - scan and save to pnm, ps and raw file, if compiled in also jpeg, png and tiff
+ - handling of all backend options
+ - helpfiles
+ - copy mode (printing via ghostscript, see section "copy mode")
+ - gimp-plugin
+
+
+It does not support:
+ - fax mode (no compatible faxsoftware)
+ - internationalization not set up correct
+
+
+Installation:
+=============
+ - unpack the archiv to c:\
+ that creates the directory c:\Sane with several files
+ you do not need to copy any files, simply call xsane or scanimage
+
+ - Sane MUST BE installed in c:\sane because the paths are hardcoded.
+ Xsane will not work correct if you install it at any other place!
+
+ - make sure you have a directory c:\temp (or whatever you
+ define as temporary directory in xsane's setup)
+
+ - there are two icons (xsane-32x32.ico and xsane-48x48.ico)
+ that you can use if you set a link from xsane.exe to your desktop,
+ for that use right mouse button and change properties of the link,
+ change icon and select "c:\sane\xsane-??x??.ico"
+
+
+Configuration:
+==============
+ edit c:\Sane\etc\sane.d\net.conf
+ and enter a list of NetBEUI names or of IP-addresses
+ of machines you want to connect to. On some Windows
+ system IP-addresses are not accepted; if you experience
+ any problems try the NetBUI names.
+
+example for net.conf:
+myhost1
+myhost2.mydomain.com
+192.168.0.1
+192.169.1.73
+
+ you also can start xsane with host:backend:device given as command line option:
+ xsane 192.168.0.1:umax:/dev/scanner
+or
+ xsane myhost:umax:/dev/scanner
+
+
+Copy-Mode:
+===========
+If you want to use copy mode, you need ghostscript for win32.
+You can download it e.g. from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
+Enter Setup/Copy options:
+enter as Command:
+ c:/gs/gs6.50/bin/gswin32c -sDEVICE=mswinpr2 -dNOPAUSE -
+Pay attention: you have to use "/", donīt use "\".
+With sDEVICE=mswinpr2 you select the Printer Dialog of Windows.
+
+You also can enter DEVICE-name of your printer (e.g. laserjet).
+To get a list of available device names open a dos box,
+and call c:\gs\gs6.50\bin\gswin32c -h
+
+
+Gimp-Plugin:
+===========
+If you want to use xsane as gimp plugin,
+copy xsane.exe and *.dll to the GIMPīs plug-ins driectory
+(e.g. c:\Program Files\GIMP\plug-ins)
+
+
+Support:
+========
+ There is no special support for xsane for win32.
+ I develop xsane on a linux machine and will make a binary version
+ for win32 from time to time.
