Ah ha! Found it... Here's the url: http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/#1 It appears to be an excellent resource. Perhaps if this goes on up on Twiki, we could put an astrisk next to each piece of software that is Mandrake supported. For example if Gnucash is available from the mandrake contrib (or perhaps other mirrors) we could put a * next to it. Then people know they only need to urpmi the app name to grab it. If we really wanted to get fancy we could have the * hyperlinked to a page that listed the Mandrake versions that support the app. So we could setup 3 pages for example: 1 - 9.2 2 - 9.2, 9.1 3 - 9.2 9.1 8.2 Then depending upon the support of the app, we hyperlink the * to 1, 2, or 3. Just some thoughts.... I tried xsane with not much more luck then Kooka. Basically it identified some characters that Kooka didn't, but didn't recgonize some that Kooka did. Perhaps I should start a new thread to see what others are doing for OCR. There's gotta be something better! Although Kooka and Xsane were really the only free OCR apps on that list... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
