Subject: Stepmothers
Grete Minde by Theodor Fontane has a fairly horrible stepmother.
The Grimm Tales have lots of stepmothers.
The topic is common enough in German literature so that they probably
have something.

I don't know who first called Shakespeare the "Bard of Avon", but it was
Jonson who first called him the "Swan of Avon" in, I think, 'To the Memory
of Shakespeare'.

still a very active product, and portends to be more so. For questions, sup-

Robert Jones asks about high-end OCR systems.
The University of Nevada has just completed an independent evaluation of
the following vendors of high-end OCR systems: Caere, Calera, Cognitive
Cuneiform, CTA, ExperVision, Ocron, Recognita, and Xerox Imaging Systems.
On top were Calera, ExperVision, and XIS (my employer) with a statistically
insignificant differences between the top three.
XIS ScanWorX would therefore be a good choice for Robert Jones's library.
It's a software-only product running on Sun, IBM, and HP Unix workstations,
and lists for $1995.
