I think you called it.  I am trying to get the latest
running so I can ask for bug fixes and enhancements.
The developers won't even read past the version number,
even if the problem is easy to check in the current version.

Right now Simple Scan works, but is awkward to use.  Not
as awkward as xcuss (x common unix scanning system, also
known as xsane).
