No. SANE was designed to be portable, and that OS/2 is not a Unix (though
not too far away ;-) doesn't make a difference. We are very glad, if we can
spread to more platforms.

Great. Running with the pbm-backend right now ?

Sure. How big are your changes ? You should probably talk to David, who is
maintaining the package. Try the EMail on the Webpage, I don't have it
handy right now.
