Hi,
I'm writing a BBS terminal program. And have hit a major roadblock. My terminal works fine for every BBS out there, except Mystic BBSes. I've narrowed down the problem to the usage of the stty() command. The problem is so: I cannot use the arrow keys to select certain things on Mystic... (4 Replies)

sane-coolscan - SANE backend for Nikon film-scanners
ABOUT THIS FILE
This file is a short description of the coolscan-backend for sane!
DESCRIPTION
The sane-coolscan library implements a SANE backend that provides the interface to the following Nikon Coolscan Film scanners: Nikon LS20,
LS30, LS1000, LS2000.
Even though the backend has worked for a number of people, there are still some problems, especially in combination with some SCSI
card/drivers (AHA-1505/aha152x.o) and the autofocus command. You should consider this backend 'alpha' and be careful when using it the
first time.
CONFIGURATION
The configuration file for this backend resides in /etc/sane.d/coolscan.conf.
Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to Nikon Coolscan scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:
#scsi Vendor Model Type
scsi Nikon * Scanner
/dev/scanner
The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. To find out to which device your scanner is assigned
and how you have to set the permissions of that device, have a look at sane-scsi.
SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
Some SCSI-adapters and low-level SCSI drivers do not work correctly with this backend and the Coolscan scanners. These systems hang when
the autofocus command is send to the Scanner. To see a list of which card/driver combinations work or dont work have a look at:
http://andreas.rick.free.fr/sane/autofocus.html.
FILES
The backend configuration file:
/etc/sane.d/coolscan.conf
The static library implementing this backend:
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-coolscan.a
The shared library implementing this backend:
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-coolscan.so (present on systems that support dynamic loading)
ENVIRONMENT
SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., a
value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity: SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN values
Examples:
on bash:
export SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN=8
on csh:
setenv SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN 8
BUGS
The autofocus command does not work with some SCSI card/driver combinations
The gamma table is not implemented for the LS1000 yet.
The dust-removal is not working yet

sane(7), sane-scsi(5)THANKS TO
Didier Carlier - For writing the original Coolscan backend (without it I would not have started this)
Oliver Rauch - For adapting xsane so quickly to the infrared stuff.
