- *should* is the operative word. I tried reading some of the DECimage scan
- software docs, and the BOOKBROWSER license wasn't sufficient... I actually
- had to load the IMAGE-SCAN license just to read the docs. Unfortunately,
- consistency is not one of DEC's strong points. So, beware of non-conformant
- docs that won't work with a BOOKBROWSER license.
