TAME-WPI and latest SANE

[Batchheizer]

I'm working on a Update of the outdated TAME-WPI (coming with eCS 2.1). I've send to the SANE-OS2-Group the following mail:

Hi! *Prologue:* Since a few years, I use TAME on my SCSI Microtek Phantom636. All works fine. In the installation of eCS 2.1 I choose the TAME-Package and found out, that there is much more to do for the user after the installation, than I suggested. See: ​http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=2996

*The problem:* Paul has done an up-to-date build of SANE in the last year. It works fine and has less files than the previous build. Thanks to Paul. This build is not integrated in the TAME-Build in eCS 2.1. Also ASPIROUT is missing (without no SCSI-Scanner works; requires changes in config.sys), NConvert is out of date, not all NLS-Files should be installed (WarpIn can detect USER-Language and select used NLS-Files -> see SearchPlus-WPI), not all components (FAXVIEW for example) should be installed by default, the help-files are mixed up and so on.

*My Plan:* I'm working on a new WPI. It has more packages and separates SANE from TAME (because users like for example Franz Bakan do not like TAME) and I removed FAXWORKS (never used it and found no dependencies to SANE/TAME). So a user can select only the files/components he wants. At the moment the WPI is designed to work with eCS 2 (2.1). So there are files and PACKAGEIDs like in the components installed with eCS (for example USBDOCK).

*My questions*

1. Is there a file missing or not necessary in one of the Packages (esp. 1 and 7).
2. Is the script OK? What must and what could be changed?
3. Does TAME use Nconvert? or was it added for other programs or scripts?
4. Do you think other packages should be added?

Any feedback is welcome.

My work goes on and I decided to make two WPIs. One for SANE and one for TAME. The reason: there are some people, who only user SANE, others use TWAIN2SANE or FEsane etc.

The TAME-WPI (only PCK/REXX) now looks:

<REXX NAME="GetDLLPath">
    rc = rxFuncAdd('SysLoadFuncs', 'REXXUTIL', 'SysLoadFuncs')
    rc = SysLoadFuncs()
    result = SysBootDrive()'\OS2\DLL'
    bestPath = SysBootDrive()'\ecs\dll'
    curDir = directory()
    if (directory(bestPath) \== '') then result = bestPath
    return result
</REXX>
