I'm making good progress with the OCR of "An Episode of Flatland"; all of the book is now scanned, and I'm more than half-way through proofreading and conversion to HTML. I ought to have the first pass on line later this week. Fortunately Omnipage seems to have started working again as abruptly as it stopped - I think that the problem may have been incompatibility with my previous anti-virus program, AVG - and the process has been more or less trouble free; the less was a computer freeze on Sunday which was probably down to accidentally hitting the scanner's "photocopy" button while Omnipage was running, and didn't actually lose any data.

In other news, at work I've just received some very nice American datalogging equipment which comes with an impressive amount of documentation; all of it on US sized paper, and punched for an American three-hole binder. Does anyone reading this know of a reasonably inexpensive source for these binders in the London area?

The only way I ever found to get three-ring binders cheaply was to go into WHSmith and select whichever partwork magazine was currently being advertised as 'part one only 1.99' and buy up several copies (much to the confusion of the assistants). As a result, my Star Fleet Battles Captains Edition comes in 'Natural Living - Your Guide to A Healthier Life' folders.

The Commanders Edition was in old VAX/VMS manual folders tossed out by the computing department at St. Andrews.

Thanks, I'll see if there's anything like that on sale.
