Just to clear any fog...

TWAIN is a sort of middle man between the application and the scanner.  It's
almost like a driver program, but it allows anything that's 'twain capabale' or
whatever to talk to your scanner directly, so you don't have to scan a doc in
one program, save it, then open it in another.  "Acquire" is simply using twain
to get stuff from the scanner.
