[sane-devel] Dumjy scanner driver?

[jerry]

Hello,

    I'd like to check out logic in my program for choosing scanners.  At 
this
time, I only have one scanner, and I do not wish to purchase another 
one.  Is
there any such thing as a dummy driver, that acts like a scanner, and 
possibly
even delivers a disk file?

    Thanks in advance,

                  - Jerry Kaidor
