A twain dwiver is called an engineer. Electwical engineers dwive
electwic twains. We have many engineers on this news gwoup. The
pwimawy job of an engineer is to keep the twain on the twacks so
that it doesn't dewail. Dewailing is vewy bad.

IIRC, it stands for:
Technology Without An Interesting Name
Stephens
with other machines and other software.
A TWAIN driver is a standard that enables different brands of scanners
and software to speak the same language. Specifically, if your
scanner and sofware are TWAIN-compliant. You can use the scanner and
software, so matter who manufactured either.
I bought a scanner that included bundled software for using it and for
digital manipulation of photographs. I later bought another scanner
that was great, but its software was not nearly as good as the other
software. However, because both are TWAIN compliant, I can use the
old software with the new scanner.
When the leaders of the scanning industry got together to develop such
a driver, I understand they had difficulty in choosing a name.
Although I cannot remember the specific words that make up the acronym
TWAIN, I believe WAIN stood for something such as WITH AN INTERESTING
NAME.

More accurate and certainly more intertwining than most of the
messages we see here on Usenet! You made me smile. ;^)

standard. Not all TWAIN Drivers are alike but should meet the basic
standards.

or not. What it is, is a technology that allows makers of different
hardware (camera, scanners, etc.)to have a common interface to the software.
This is what will allow a photo editing package to access any digital
camera, or allow any software to access the same camera.
