Thank you for your reply---that sounds interesting. It is the first
reply I had, which I find a bit strange: does most development for
paralletl scanners rely on them working with a parallel-to-USB
connector (and then using UsbSnoop)?
I'll try that initially too, but I am afraid that the ALPS scan
software may not work at all, hence my looking at direct parallel
options.
At the moment I lack a Win95 or Win98 VM to try this on, but I'll keep
your kind offer in mind.

Many thanks once again,
