ok, i dont' know how much people have gotten into this here...but i found two sites, one which you have to pay for, and the other is free/trial/pay. now if im not mistaken, twain seems to be some sort of set of files, or api's that make programming using a twain compatible device (usb camera, scanner etc...) easier. as far as i know its just used for devices that capture pictures. im not 100% sure on most of this stuff, so if anyone knows anything else i'd like to hear more about it. basically i was searching for a site that has good free twain dll's with sample source code. these are the two best that i found. if anyone has any other information on this topic it would be greatly appreciated.

Unbodied unsouled unheard unseen
Let the gift be grown in the time to call our own
Truth is natural like a wind that blows
Follow the direction no matter where it goes
Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me
