Your report to this agency complies with Section 63.2- 1606 of the Code of Virginia that requires the reporting of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of certain adults to the Lynchburg Department of Social Services. The investigation has been completed, and at this time, there is not a preponderance of evidence that Catherine Connelly is in need of protective services. Since situations of vulnerable adults can change rapidly, your continued assistance in identifying and referring adults whom you suspect may be victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation would be appreciated. Thank you for your report and for your interest in the safety and well- being of vulnerable adults. Sincerely, Social Worker Adult Protective Services 25' Pretty good, don't you think? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

What OCR for Leopard?
Dual posting here, no answer after two days on two other LEM lists. What OCR software packages are there which run well on OS X 10.5 Leopard? Any favorites? I've seen references to Omnipage Pro X for Macintosh and Readiris as independent packages, and even OCR capability in Vuescan and Adobe Acrobat. My old Omnipage 8 SE will not install in Leopard on a G4 iBook nor Intel iMac.
