Re: scanners and ocr under linux

	I don't as of yet know much more than nothing, but I believe
that Gnome is a GUI which has been designed to make alternative access
possible right from the start, but I don't think it has anything to do
with X windows.  I hope somebody will explain who is more familiar
with Gnome, but I think it is a separate world altogether from X.
