as far as I know, there is not a single scanner application out there for

the GS (excluding the Thunderscan andthe hand held canners).  Certainly
noting for the flatbed family.

However, a few issues of develop ago, there was an article that laid down
the basics for an application that made use of the Apple One scanner.  If you can
dig that article up (I'm sorry - I dot remember which issue it was) and 
if you are a glutton for punishment, youcould write the application
yourself.

Helpful, arent I?
