I'm working on a project that requires scanning some maps and 
viewing them on a X11 system. I have contacted several scanner
distributors but none have tools under Unix for the simple
scanning process. All suggest to use a DOS emulator to run
their tools just to turn the image into a file, then return
to Unix :-( This is inacceptable in my application :-)

Has anyone had this same problem? What scanner were used?
Any info would be helpfull.

Thank you very much
