   My thinking was using software with the scanner to convert the writing   
   (printing) on the page into text.   
      
   CAD is what I recall learning about.   
   Computer Aided don't remember what the D meant, I'm guessing Design.   
      
   It all adds up to Laziness on my part, hopeing the PC would do allthe work of   
   entering paves and pages of pc code for Me.From what I can recall it was a   
   program in Byte magazine for which direction an antenna should be Pointed   
   toward a location.
