Tomo,
Thanks. I actually had retrieved the 4.1 version form our tape
archives; that doesn't work either (loads, but smae as previous
message--can't use scanner).
Ken Wahl's feedback leads me back to info I wasn't able to decipher
when I first saw it and still am not sure I know what I need, but...
What i can use is copy of the Ofoto 2.0.2 software. I'm not sure if
this is a replacement for the OneScanner Dispatcher software that
does the scanning or some kind of additional driver that allows them
to work together.
Is this on your system?
Thanks!
Michael

Michael,
I'm sorry -- now I understand. I did a quick look, and found the
following statement:
OfotoŽ is an application from Light Source Computer Images, Inc. that was
bundled with older models of Apple's Color OneScanner. It manages the
scanning process and allows you to perform various transformations on the
scanned image. (quote from http://macinsearch.com/infomac/cfg/os-8-foto.html)
The Web page for Light Source that I found, http://www.ls.com, looks
like it's no longer used by Light Source, so this may mean that
they're out of business.
Perhaps someone else has ofoto software on campus that you could copy?
Sorry I wasn't as much help as I thought I'd be.
Ken
