Hi,

Did anyone follow this up?  I understand from their weebpage that OCR
Shop(TM) has an X11 front end, but if they could be persuaded to give us
access to their code, perhaps some of us could work on a console-based
interface ... I'd be willing to put some time into that.

Any thoughts?

Nikhil.
