This is a short description about the installation of the hpscanner-software HPSCANPBM adapted for OpenVMS (Tested with OpenVMS/AXP 6.1): 1.) include startspec.com into systartup-vms.com and modify the hardcoded physical address gka600 to your scsi-address of your scanner. If you use VAX/VMS you have to call "mc sysgen" instead of "mc sysman io". 2.) Compile and link with "$ cc/stand=vaxc HPS_EHH_SCANJET.C" "$ link HPS_EHH_SCANJET" or, for VAX/VMS "$ cc/vaxc HPS_EHH_SCANJET.C" "$ link HPS_EHH_SCANJET,sys$input/opt sys$share:vaxcrtl.exe/share ^z" 3.) define a symbol in you (sy)login "$ hps:==$HPS_EHH_SCANJET" 4.) "hps -help" gives you in idea about all possible switches. "hps -o x.pbm -dpi 300" is an example (don't forget -o, because stdout is the default) Have fun Eberhard Heuser-Hofmann
