Tame/2

Tame/2 keeps the promise of easy scanner access. You no longer must fight with non-mnemonic command lines to produce scans or to get the most out of your scanner (as far as SANE supports it).

It is nothing more and nothing less than a bridge between your scanner, SANE, MMOS/2 and your preferred picture painting/drawing/publishing application. Beyond simply controlling the scan process, Tame/2 supports printing and faxing from scans, uses an OS/2 "light table" to facilitate handling your scanned images, scanning from a queue, and scanning over a network.

Tame/2 is not a drawing or picture painting tool, therefore no picture editing capabilities are built in.

Tame/2 should work with every SANE release and with every Scanner supported by an OS/2 port of SANE. This is done using a database of the specific settings for the scanners supported by SANE.
