You might want to contact Ed Hamrick <EdHamrick at aol.com>, author
of VueScan.  He has been very helpful to me when I had questions
about it.

I got VueScan for Mac OS X Tiger when I had to replace a bad hard
drive on my Mac Mini and the HP drivers I had been using were no
longer available (let's not go into backups shall we :-).  The
support has been good, and it does what I need.

Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the
exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and
these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or
both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom
they oppress. -- Frederick Douglass.
