We do good >research :-) Considering that FreeBSD apps run on OSX with very little modification, (cool site - http://ptf.com/tdc/ ) one would think they would not care if you just need a UNIX machine. And of course, your TiBook would probably cause them LESS support headaches than the PC one.

I think there is a commercial solution for PP on Windows, but nothing free. There are other frameworks that do that job, but powerplant is not one of them. Adding a GUI to the scanner wasnt a huge amount of work, it just takes a while when one does it in their spare time, and is not a professional programmer. Perhaps i could learn one of the new OSX/Un*x/Windows frameworks (are there free ones?) by porting scribia to it. -Ben -- NOTE: Please change my address in your address book from bh...@sa... to bh...@al... as my UCSD address will be permanent. <http://freepages.sf.rootsweb.com/~bhines/> - My Genealogy Pages |
