Dear Wojtek,

all you need is the twain interface for BlackBox. Such kind of interface are
reading data from scanners and cameras.

While money is not a problem for you why don't you let build such a twain
interface from OM and spend the result to the BlackBox community?

Further you found converters for bmp & tiff format written for BlackBox at

        
http://www-iiuf.unifr.ch/~schweizp/blackbox/index.html

        Reading bmp you found it also at http://www.zinnamturm.de#Ctls

Remember you either need time or a lot of money to achieve your aim.

But don't forget
