Ed,
  This exactly describes my problem in trying to load
javainrt.exe of 18265K and 22/05/02. If I use the switches
Kris describes I get a warning about the valid switch
options allowed with UnZipSFX. Please let me know
when/how you get it going. I think a further runtime
update has been released since, but I'm stuck here.

With thanks,

Mike Peters

Hi Michael

Use unzip.exe, or use the unzip.exe that normally lives
in your x:\tcpip\bin directory, also check your path for other
copys of unzip, as some support different sets of compression
and shrink/unshrink. Its not unusual to fine a couple of different
versions, and makes of unzip.exe floating around.

Ian,
  Before too much confuson creeps in ....... I can explode
the javainrt.exe, without the -di -ov switches, in its temp 
directory without a problem. I think the switches are for
the toolkit as Kris indicated. But once unzipped I have
the install problem, just as Ed described it. the FI doesn't
want to work properly.
 BTW I did have mixed unzip.exe's pathed :-) .

Rgds,

Mike

Of course you can.

So you do have a problem: without the proper switches, the directory structure isn't
restored. That's why.

btw: you have to keep out unduly floating around *zip.exe programs out of your path
too.

the *.exe files DO require the switches, if you get an error
from a switch, drop that ONE switch off, I experienced this
last time I upgraded Java113 but without the switches, the
files do not completely, and correctly unarchive.

I'm sure it says this in the readme somewere to.

Subject:  [os2genau] Scanners

Hi all.

I see an opportunity to get into flat-bed scanning cheaply using a Primax
300dpi unit with a SCSI card.

Can anyone tell me if TWAIN or SANE drivers will successfully coax,wheedle
or cajole images out of this thing?

I have found "Primax" on the SANE homepage list of supported equipment
under "Mustek" driver and showing only the Compact 4800 SCSI model. 

What do I need to know about scanners in general to properly go as mad as
everyone else?<g>

Best regards

Hi Glenn,

A google search with the terms "StarTrax software site:nz" came up with:-

NEW ZEALAND IMPORT EXPORT TRADE & AGENCY CO. LTD.
http://www.businessonline.co.nz/computer.htm

And a link near the bottom right of that page has an entry for:-
"StarTrax Sound - software for broadcast stations. "
http://monstar.co.nz/

However the url for http://monstar.co.nz/  comes up with
a blank page, except for the word "Monstar" at the top.

Maybe it is in a stage of construction or has been discontinued.
Perhaps you could make an email enquiry at:-
robertmatbusinessonline.co.nz

I also did a more wide ranging search and came up with:-
StarTrax Broadcast Systems 
9898 Bissonnet, #592 
Houston, TX 77036 
800 961-7573 
but with no web or email address other than the listing above which was
mentioned on:-
http://www.globalcommnet dot com/ffolder/f6.htm

Hope this helps,

I believe the point is not to install separate components, rather to
download all the ones you need, expand them into the same directory
structure and then go into the install program. Apparently the install
program is adaptive and will give options to install whichever components it
finds.

Brian - as the original one with this problem, do you have anything to add ?

Be careful John !  If a scanner is listed as supported on the SANE site this
DOES NOT mean it's supported through the OS/2 port of SANE (Scanimage.exe).
If Paul Smedley in Adelaide is monitoring this list, he's the local expert
and helped me extensively in getting my Canon SCSI scanner to work under
OS/2.
