----------------------------
This software is copyright Richard Tobin 1994. It may be freely
redistributed provided the copyright notices are not removed.
-
-You can ftp this code from macbeth.cogsci.ed.ac.uk.
-
-This is (a very early version of) a SCSI driver for the HP ScanJet range
-of scanners and a corresponding graphical user interface.
-
-The HP scanners (or at least some of them) are SCSI devices, but do
-not implement the SCSI scanner interface. Instead they act as SCSI
-processor devices. They use the SCSI send and receive commands to
-transfer (hard as it is to believe) escape sequences.
-
-The file scsi.c implements the SCSI send and receive commands in user
-mode, using the *BSD "uk" (unknown device) driver. The uk driver is
-somewhat flaky, rarely returning errors even if the device is switched
-off. Error detection is therefore likely to be minimal.
-
-The file scanner.c provides a thin layer on top of scsi.c, and might
-decode error returns if there were any.
-
-The file scl.c implements many of the HP SCL (Scanner Control
-Language) commands. This involves generating and parsing lots of
-escape sequences.
-
-The file gui.c provides a simple X interface to the scanner. It
-allows you to preview the whole scan area, zoom in on the bit you're
-interested in, and scan it to a file. So far it can only scan 24-bit
-colour, preview on a colour display, and produce ppm files.
-
-All of this has been hacked up in a hurry, so it's pretty minimal. It
-has been tried only under FreeBSD 1.1 with a ScanJet IIcx connected to
-an Adaptec 1542CF. I don't have much time to spend on it, so don't
-expect rapid improvements. Please send bug-reports and improvements
-to R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk.
