Bravo for the topical collections---some of which I have been keeping on the
primitive Mail filing system here. As you remark, the interest in optical
scanners is remarkable. For medievalists an accurate scanner for printed
text will be truly revolutionary, for we can then get texts in machine-readable
form and do all those nice things that classicists can do with the corpus
of Greek lit. Thanks for all of your labors at Toronto!
