As the first bigger application IOSpirit's fxSCAN now supports Amithlon with x86-native versions of its CPU-modules. Thus fxSCAN now runs on native on 680x0, PPC (WarpUP, PowerUP, MorphOS) and x86 (Amithlon) with full speed. The portation of the OCR-engine and the servertask (one for every sytem) again brings at least a doubling of speed compared to the emulated 68K-CPU. Under "Downloads" you can now download a free patch from version 4.0/4.01 to 4.02.

All changes since V4.01:

- direct support for TurboPrint (no more only via Graphics Publisher), incl. copying. Partly leads to greatly enhanced printing speed.
- x86-native versions of the servertask and the OCR-engine in Amithlon.
- when saving JPEGs, the DPI-information is now saved, too.
- version 8 of the fxWARP3-system (new "fxWARP Memory Guard" to work around bugs and limitations of WarpUP)
- the standardtool saved in NewIcons can now be changed with the PICTURETOOL-tooltype

In reply to Comment 2 (Desmon):
This is the right approach.
It would be interesting to know which compiler is being used and how
much extra work is involved.
As there are only three CPUs involved, there would be little advantage
in using Tao's VP, even if it was available for AmigaOS.
