List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, OCRShoppe is targeted at RedHat. It doesn't install on a Debian system. I contacted Vividata and they promised to make a Debian compatible version, but that's last January. Before that I contacted them last August; they made the same promise then... Still they're not doing anything but RedHat. I agree, it should be a good ocr solution... but for now, it's only for RedHat users. --terry On Tue, Sep 24, 2002 at 06:51:54PM -0400, Scott Howell wrote: > Ocr Shop might be a nice program and is priced on the same level as most > cots ocr packages accept for something like Openbook which is very > expensive.
