It just doesn't quite add up to me <dumb>:) Being a set of lbraries means that the program was written to sperate the front-end (the part you see and work with) from the part of the program that actually does the work. Meaning that another programer can relatively easily write his/her own OCR software that uses the work of the developers of this package. If the only front-end they have written is in X you will have to use X or write a new front end. Thescanner won't actually access a thing. A program will access the scanner though. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Cluelessness There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots
