TWAIN for OS/2
Attached is the information you requested on Twain for OS/2.
Twain, an industry standard specification for any Twain enabled application to
use any Twain supported scanner was acknowleged by IBM as an important
workstation standard at the recent May 1995 New Orleans Technical Interchange.
A 32 bit, fully Twain compliant implementation is now available for OS/2
through Solution Technology, Inc.
Twain allows any application to use any supported imaging device (camera,
scanner, etc). A special advantage of Twain for OS/2 is its support for
almost any resolution image in simple black and white up through 24 bit color
without image size restrictions.
Another advantage of STI's multi-threaded OS/2 implementations of Twain
scanner drivers are their ability to scan documents at the full 35-45 pages
per minute speed of popular mid range document imaging scanners. Future
versions should push the speed even higher.
Attached you will find information you requested on Twain for OS/2, Twain
for OS/2 SDK and the Twain for OS/2 DDK as well as information on Applause
and Review, two Twain for OS/2 enabled applications. All products are
currently available from stock.
The SDK will allow you to write the interface between your application and
the TWAIN.DLL for OS/2. The SDK comes with all the required and optional
DLL's, samples, and one scanner driver of your choice (normally
Hewlett-Packard). TWAIN enabling an existing imaging application should
take less than a day and and only about two pages of C code. The cost for
the SDK is $695.00.
The DDK allows a scanner manufacturer or third party developer to create
fully reentrant, multitasking, multi-threaded Twain for OS/2 scanner drivers.
The DDK contains carefully written and compilable base source code to which
the DDK user writes only the specific interface code to his actual hardware
device. The DDK, priced at $4,995.00, comes with a full years telephone
support directly into Solution Technology's TWAIN engineering staff.
The optional annual software maintenance includes extended telephone support
and kit updates for both the SDK and DDK are available at $105/year (SDK) and
$750/year (DDK). Each kit has a distribution license for the TWAIN.DLL.
Distribution licenses are available for the TWAININT.DLL, individual scanner
drivers, or scanner driver packs at attractive rates.
TWAIN for OS/2 Scanner Drivers are being continually added to our inventory
(see attached current scanner support list) and may be purchased individually
or in packages of multiple scanner drivers. Integrators and Developers can
take advantage of our "Create-a-pak" licensing agreement to "roll-their-own"
driver packages without incurring the costs of distributing scanner drivers
they don't need. Run-time licenses are based on volume and the type of
scanner drivers required.
Please feel free to call if there are any questions.

TWAIN for OS/2 SDK
The Twain for OS/2 SDK is a developer's kit for TWAIN enabling any OS/2 imaging
application. Our Twain package allows images to be efficiently captured in
bi-level, gray scale, pallet color, or full 24 bit color without restrictions
on image size. In addition, Twain for OS/2 production scanners easily achieve
scanning at or near their rated full speeds. Compliance with the TWAIN
standard ensures that any OS/2 Twain enabled application will operate with any
OS/2 Twain enabled scanner to acquire images.
SDK Features:
- Full 32-bit multithreaded, multiprocess implementation
- Fully Twain Release 1.5 compliant
- Requires less than one page of user C code in existing imaging
applications for Twain enablement
- OS/2 compliant applications will run with any OS/2 Twain compliant
scanner or imaging device
- SDK Extended Support and SDK maintenance options available
- Includes distribution license for TWAIN.DLL
- Scanner driver runtime licenses available individually or in packages
of multiple devices
- Nominal licensing fee to distribute the TWAININT.DLL (fast Twain
enabler DLL)
Each SDK Includes:
- TWAININT.DLL - Interface DLL to Twain Source Manager
- TWAIN.DLL - Twain Source Manager DLL
- One OS/2 Twain binary scanner driver of your choice (Hewlett-Packard
SCSI driver default)
- OS/2 SDK Supplement to Twain Release 1.5 manual
- Sample OS/2 SDK source code for simple Twain enabled viewer
Requires:
- OS/2 2.1, 2.11, Warp, or Warp Connect
- OS/2 Compatible supported scanner devices
- CSET/2 or CSET/2++ or equivalent tools
STI Supported Scanners:
- Hewlett-Packard IIP, IIC, IICX, 3P, 3C, 3CX
- Logitech Scanman 256
- Bell & Howell 3338
- Epson 1200C, GT-9000 Series
- Fujitsu 3096, 3097, and ScanPartner 10
Under Development at STI:
- Microtek IISP
- Mustek MFS-6000CX

TWAIN for OS/2 DDK
The Twain for OS/2 DDK is a developer's kit for imaging device manufacturers
to develop a Twain for OS/2 device driver. Our Twain DDK package allows the
developer to create device drivers which efficiently capture images in
bi-level, gray scale, pallet color, or full 24 bit color without restrictions
on image size. In addition, the DDK contains code which permits the developer
to implement drivers which support high performance production scanners.
The structure of the DDK helps assure compliance with the TWAIN standard which
ensures that your device driver will operate with any OS/2 Twain enabled
application. If you would rather have OS/2 experts develop your device driver,
you can contract Solution Technology to develop it for you.
DDK Features:
- Full 32-bit multi-threaded, multi-process implementation
- Fully Twain Release 1.5 compliant
- Typically takes two to four weeks to implement a Twain scanner device
driver
- Manufacturer adds typically from 15 to 25 percent more code
- Multi-thread code for high-speed scanner management included
- All normal Twain messages already handled in supplied toolkit code
- OS/2 compliant applications will run with any OS/2 Twain compliant
scanner or imaging device
- DDK Extended Support and DDK maintenance options available
- Distribute your scanner device driver royalty free
Each DDK Includes:
- Twain for OS/2 SDK which includes:
+ TWAIN.DLL - Twain Source Manager DLL
+ TWAININT.DLL - Interface to Twain Source Manager
+ OS2 SDK Supplement to Twain Release 1.5 manual
+ Sample OS/2 SDK source code for simple Twain enabled viewer
+ One OS/2 Twain binary scanner driver of your choice
(Hewlett-Packard SCSI driver default)
- One OS/2 Twain source of a sample scanner driver; only need to implement
manufacturer specific codes
- OS/2 DDK Supplement to Twain Release 1.5 manual
- OS/2 ASPI adapter driver example kit for SCSI scanners
- One year telephone support directly into Solution Technology's TWAIN
engineering staff
