I have access to the C/C++ SDK but as I’ve not done anything like this  
would like help.

anyone got or done something like this?  
I’ve read in this newsgroup some messages but they didn’t seem too  
helpful to me.

believe the scanner will be working in a windows XP OS environment but  
crossplatform would be even better.

ALso from my very brief look at the SDK I recall an OSX directory how  
would those files fit in with ruby on a \*nix box?

cheers,
