Kodak/Wang Imaging is a neat program which first came out with Win95 as "Wang Imaging". Kodak bought it from Wang Laboratories and changed the name so it came with Win98 as "Kodak Imaging". Kodak later sold Imaging to eiStream, Inc. who started selling it separately rather than licensing it to Microsoft to be bundled with Windows so it disappeared from Windows XP which is a shame as it was a neat little program. You can now buy Imaging for Win XP for an exhorbitant price from www.alliancegroup.co.uk.
    Imaging is a great program for something very specific which is to scan, view, edit, handle and annotate documents like faxes and similar documents. I am not going to go into much detail because if you are reading this you probably already know Imaging. Whenever I need to scan a document with several pages I use Imaging and scan it directly into a multipage TIFF file. Using Fax4 compression gives the best compression efficiency.
    What I like best in Imaging is the capability of making annotations on documents like forms. You can type, draw, erase, etc. These annotations can be left as a separate layer, removed or made permanent.
    When I installed Win XP I spent some hours getting Imaging to work with XP. I finally found a solution online but it took some time and tinkering. I found the solution here.   The thread makes for good reading as there is some discussion about whether it is legal to port your Imaging program from Win 9X to Win XP.
    Download the ZIP file from http://www.geocities.com/rubyraj123/scanner.zip and expand it. Run the install.bat file and it will do the entire installation automatically.
    I still use Imaging regularly and it does everything I need.  It is a shame that we are forced to stop using perfectly good programs and purchase and learn new programs to do what we were already doing perfectly well. I try to continue to use my old programs whenever I can.  Netmeeting, and Photodeluxe are others.
