      Datacopy and Dest are not the same company; they are competitors.
Datacopy's OCR technology was developed internally at Datacopy, and
rather recently, years after Dest had working OCR for typewritten material.
Xerox is proposing a takeover of Datacopy at $6 per share.  Xerox also owns
Kurtzweil.
