XVScan adds scanning capability with HP ScanJet scanners to XV

Version 1.21

What's New in Version 1.21

1) Command-line batch scanning utility
2) Scanning progress meter and cancel during scanning
3) Improved documentation

The current version of XVScan is 1.21 dated 02/24/95 based upon

XVScan supports many image formats including GIF, JPEG, TIFF (compressed
and uncompressed), PostScript (requires ghostscript),  PBM/PGM/PPM (raw
and ascii), X11 Bitmap, XPM (X PixMap), Sun Rasterfile, BMP, IRIS
Rasterfile, Targa (24-bit), and  FITS (greyscale).

Only HP ScanJet series scanners are supported.

The addition of the new command-line scanning utility "sjscan" allows
full control of the scanner and Auto Document Feeder to provide unattended
batch scanning of up to 50 pages.

Also included in this release are numerous updates to the ScanJet API
which allows other applications to control an HP ScanJet scanner.

The list price for XVScan is $50 for ftp or email delivery. It is also 
available on 3.5" floppies or 4mm DAT tape for an additional $15 in the 
United States or $25 internationally. Credit cards accepted.
