Freeware OCR Project

<P> 
A mailing list has been started for discussion of the design and
implementation of a freeware Optical Character Recognition program for
Unix.

Scanner support for Unix is under rapid development thanks to projects
such as <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/">SANE</A>, and applications such as

in two parallel tracks. The first track will be dedicated to Linux
development, the second track will be intended to accomodate talks about

TkDesk is a graphical desktop and file manager for several brands
