So back to my other gripe about APIs which is high level APIs - when we are in Windows we can access a User or a Capture Device - these are a single API - people can add a video camera or a scanner or a slide scanner or ... - and I can write a simple script to get a picture that is effectively future proof.

Hi Scott,

What is it that you are asking?   Do you want a scanner/camera API for CGI?
