RE: getting hand scanner to work with packages other than that provided
with scanner...

Your best bet is to contact the software publisher you are interested in
and see if a driver is available.
Another option is to use Dr. Halo to get your image into the machine, then
save it in a file format that can be used by the other graphics program.

I have a Mustek scanner that was bundled with Mustek's software, an OCR
package and PC Paintbrush +.  Mustek's and the OCR software use one driver,
but PC Paintbrush will not use that driver - it requires its own driver. 
Since I refuse to load two device drivers for the same physical device
(waste of RAM), I use Mustek's software to get the image, then manipulate
the image with PC Paintbrush +.
