Dumb Questions: Searching archives and OCR question

[Janina Sajka]

I don't know that I'd call it good, but it does exist. And the command line interface works just fine for me.

Essentially, I create a directory (if I'm scanning more than a page or two), and use:

	scanimage to get graphics files and
	gocr to ocr them.
