Hi there. Is TWAIN supposed to work under CrossOver on Mac? (And  
CrossOver Games?) I tried running the scanner driver install for Xerox  
Workcentre PE114 in a bottle, and then installing IrfanView into the  
same bottle. I'll admit I did this on CrossOver Games trial version,  
as that's the product I'd like to buy -- I primarily have a need to  
run games and Half-Life 2 indeed runs like charm; my only windows- 
specific productivity activity is to scan exactly 1 document/month  
(invoice for my only current consulting client); I'd rather not buy  
CrossOver in addition to CrossOver Games for this purpose only...

Both installs completed successfully (well, IrfanView required  
scooping MFC42.DLL from elsewhere...), the Xerox TWAIN driver is where  
I'd expect it to be (c:\windows\twain_32 directory), but in IrfanView,  
the TWAIN source selector dialog doesn't come up.

So, answers to following questions would be appreciated?
- is TWAIN supposed to work with CrossOver Games? If yes, any idea  
what I'm doing wrong?
- is TWAIN supposed to work with regular CrossOver? If yes, should it  
be a straight affair of running the scanner install in a bottle?

Thanks for any answers,
   Attila.
