BTW - there is another issue about scaners amd Zope. We now are
testing a patient image database (Zope application with images in file
system and metadata in Postgresql) in a local network. It became
obvious how great it would be to scan (or get images from other TWAIN
sessions) directly into a Zope application. Google search returned
that such an option is available in ColdFusion -

============================
  Activescan Technical Overview

What is it?

Activescan is a Cold Fusion Custom Tag that gives developers the
ability to allow clients to scan images from any TWAIN compliant
scanner directly to a web server. Clients can scan images, resize and
crop them, and upload them to the server with one easy to use
interface.    

How Does it Work?

Activescan uses a combination of TWAIN, ActiveX, and Javascript
technologies in a Cold Fusion Custom Tag to create the scanner
interface. The images are converted into JPEG format, then sent to the
server using an HTTP form post.

Which Zope release is scheduled to include <dtml-getimage>? ;-)
