[Athen] JSTOR inaccessibility

[Howard Kramer]

Hi Mike,

It won't import through ocr software such as OmniPage. I haven't tried

Howard:

	So that means you can't even electronically import the immages
directly, like a fax, for conversion to text?

If you can print them, you might try Kes or Wynn's virtual printers. - James
