But KEYVIEW doesn't natively handle XyWrite formats... So you have to
do a two-stage conversion to reach, say, MSWord v7.0. Unless I'm missing
something...

I was unaware that KEYVIEW is bundled with the Acrobat client (which is
freeware, isn't it? For OS/2 I'm almost positive that it's free, perhaps
because it's labeled a Beta product). I read somewhere that KEYVIEW does faxes
too, which must mean that it has some sort of OCR capability.
