OCR  is  FREEWARE.  It  may be copied and used freely. Distribution by BBSs
and  PD  libraries is allowed. However, OCR may NOT under ANY circumstances
be  included  in  CD-ROM  collections or on magazine cover disks without my
prior  written  permission.  OCR  and  its documentation must always remain
together  and complete with all its files and documentation. Changes to the
program and documentation is forbidden.
===========================================================================

OCR runs on the Atari ST/STe/TT and Falcon in any resolution (>=496x200).

file, please contact me.

Installation:
-------------
Copy the OCR files and folders listed at  the end of this text into an  OCR
folder on your hard disk or floppy.

The language of the menus, dialogs  and messages within OCR can be  changed
by replacing  the file  OCR.RSC with  one of  the .RSC  files in  the  RSCS
folder. Copy the  desired RSC  file to the  same directory  as OCR.PRG  and
rename it to OCR.RSC (delete or rename the existing RSC file).

On-line help  is  available  using either  1st-Guide  (Shareware  by  Guido
Vollbeding) or ST-Guide (Fairware by Holger  Weets). To set up the  on-line
help open the OCR 'General options'  dialog and using the 'Help  accessory'
box select  the  desired  help accessory  (1STGUIDE.ACC  or  ST-GUIDE.ACC).
Select OCR.IDX in the 'Index file' box  to use 1st-Guide or OCR.REF to  use
ST-Guide (OCR_E.REF  for  English language  help).  Remember to  save  your
selection using 'Save options'.
