This is a short description about the installation of the Mutek-6000CX scanner program pnmscan adapted for OpenVMS (Tested with OpenVMS/VMS 6.1): 1.) Compile and link with "$ cc/decc/pref=all pnmscan.C" "$ link pnmscan.obj" 2.) "$ mc sysgen conn gkan00:/noadapter/driver=gkdriver.exe." n = SCSI-ID you select on your scanner. "$ set sec/class=dev/prot=(wo:rwlp) gkan00:" "$ define/system muscan gkan00:" "$ install add pnmscan.EXE/priv=(diagnose,phy_io)" 3.) define a symbol in you (sy)login "$ pnmscan:==$pnmscan" 4.) "pnmscan -help" gives you in idea about all possible switches. "pnmscan -g" is an example how to scan an whole picture in grayscale Have fun Eberhard Heuser-Hofmann PS: I made small modification because of timeout problems in some rare cases.
