<x-flowed>I use this firm's IrisPn scanner and I doubt very much if this OCR package
was ever intended for classical Greek --- their scanning software
is business orientated, as you can see from their blurb; heavily
concentrating on graphs, tables, etc.
But why not ask them their reaction to your news that you are using it for
classical Greek?
