It fully supports vanilla PHP. I'm not sure why the website would have conveyed that it requires Delphi For PHP. PlatinumGrid doesn’t require Delphi. It fully supports vanilla PHP.

]]> Comment on Epson GT-S50 Scanner thoughts by admin http://basementjack.com/uncategorized/epson-gt-s50-scanner-thoughts/comment-page-1/#comment-396 admin Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:42:02 +0000 http://basementjack.com/?p=244#comment-396 Image capture (the app from apple) works great. There were a few other programs that claimed to work with image capture, and I couldn't get those working. I recently rebuilt my mac and I was curious where the Image Capture Driver came from - it comes from apple - Image Capture worked with the GT-S50 before I ever installed the drivers from Epson. My workflow is basically to use Acrobat to scan via Twian (Acrobat on the mac doesn't support Image Capture nor ISIS drivers) which has worked out pretty well. The Image capture app from apple can also create PDF's but they aren't searchable and they are quite a bit (5-10x) larger than the PDF's Acrobat creates. I think the Epson is a solid scanner for the money (Cheaper than the Canon and Fujitsu) I am still curious about the Canon, as it was rated faster and still has twian drivers. Unfortunately for Canon (and me) there wasn't anywhere I could go see/get one. Other than twain, I don't think you can go wrong with ScanSnap- people seem to love them, and it comes with Acrobat, which is a must have. It is disappointing that there is no twain driver, which means there might be scenarios in the future where you have to scan to a Tiff file then import it into another program- that said, 99.5% of what we scan we likely want in PDF format, and I think the ScanSnap has that down, plus although late, I think Fujitsu's been pretty good about supporting older product with drivers.

I've been thinking of buying the GT-S50 over the ScanSnap, hoping the TWAIN drivers would help me avoid "lock-in". After all these decades nobody has gotten scanner software right! Sounds like Fujitsu has come close yet when OS-X 10.7 comes out, we'll all be stuck again. And when 10.9 is around, who knows if they'll even support it anymore? Argh! :-) Did you ever get Image Capture working?

I was scratching my head trying to break down the technet information. Your guide is short and to the point. Just what I needed. To simplify, in step four the command I used was: Dism /image:C:\WINPE_X86\WINPE.WIM /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\PromiseXPRaidDriver\OEM24.inf /ForceUnsigned As I was attempting to add just one specific un-signed .inf driver.

A main feature/setting I'm looking for in a free plugin is for it to be able to list out all of the staff and associated titles/positions for the location event which I notice most of the plugins out there on the web aren't that flexible in only listing the appointment-event name/description but not the staff list data involved when in calendar month view mode for example.

I had used the obout.com calendar control, but it was fairly buggy at the time, and I don't think it's received much attention since. Unfortunately, I never found a good one.

Hope you have a good day and be interested to hear your reply :-) Hello, sorry if this is a little off topic but came across one of your prior postings located at:
