The subject line is most of the information...does anyone know of a UNIX
based package for OCR.  I'm primarily interested in a software based
kinda-thing, but if you have information about the LATEST THING!! (and it
requires its own board) please feel free to email me info.  We are running 
HP-UX 6.2 on an HP 9000/370 and HP-UX 7.0 on an HP 9000/835.  We hope to use
it to enter printed journal articles, so would like something that can
recognize underlines, sub- superscripting, italics, etc.  Actually, we need
to figure out if such a thing is currently feasible, so any information /
experience in this area would be welcome.  Thanks awf'ly.
