SCANdal is a graphic interface for scanner drivers in Betascan/SANE standard. It uses MUI and was ported on all Amiga-like operating systems (MorphOS, AmigaOS 4.x, AmigaOS3.x, AROS). The point of its developing was to provide their users a free software that allows them to use scanners effectively and uses advanced functions of new version of the every mentioned operating systems.

Requirements

For proper use of SCANdal you need the following components to be installed in your system:

  • MUI (Magic User Interface) version 3.8 or later
  • urltext.mcc MUI class

For MorphOS version lower than 2.x

  • Update Pack containing jfif.library and png.library as well as an Aboutbox.mcc class
  • MorphOS version of this software uses advanced MUI 4.x, so it may not work properly with older MUI versions

Additionally the computer should be fitted with a proper hardware interface (SCSI or USB) to connect your scanner to. You should also have proper scanner drivers for Betascan standard installed. SCANdal as a graphic interface does not give the possibility to scan anything without proper drivers available.

SCANdal Installation

SCANdal is ready to run right after decompressing the archive in destination directory and doesn't copy any files into any other directories. For proper working it requires Betascan drivers in #?.device form to be present in any directory on you hard drive.
