Well - that's the reason why I said we need people with good scanners and
good ocr software. ocr stands for optical character recognition and is
a piece of software that could make text out of graphics. The graphics
can be obtained by 'photocopying' the homeground in paper form via a
scanner into the computer. So there's no real need of retyping everything.
