Okay, I'll take the last day's silence as evidence that you all agree 
that OCR software simply isn't up to this task. Thanks, Steve, for your 
comments nevertheless.

So, next question:

Is there a software package for Linux anyone might recommend that would 
permit loading the doc feeder with a stack of paper and have it sucked 
into the system as either a PDF or JPG file for manual retyping?


And please don't wait for the meetings, turns out I won't be able to 
attend either this week. No, not a relapse, just the usual schedule 
conflicts.

Thanks,
Bruce
