  Yes, and all the above.
  The package you want to look at is Omnipage.  It Recognizes 11 European
  character sets, and runs on PC's and MAC's.  The only warning is that the
  version that runs on anything less than a 386 requires a special board
  that boosts the price about 1,000.  It normally sells for 895.
  It is a package that we are endorsing in the Southern Sales Region.
