[Coco] Rainbow on Disc - OCR

[Neil Morrison]

If you have these in a directory, Adobe Reader will search them for you.

I have uploaded three smaller tests done with ABBYY. They are in

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ColorComputer/files/RainbowPDF

I did not edit these at all, except that the Color Math sample was told to
split the page scanned.

See what you think.
