  Well, if it was already printed "You will pay the price for your lack
of vision." as Palpatine would say. (I am joking). But if I understood
it right, paperkey generates a txt output file (ascii 7 bits). You can
copy and paste that output, chose a clear font, and print it...

  I don't even dare to think the effort that would require, since the
few OCR software I have used, made use of dictionaries to avoid making
too many errors... and still they made a lot of them. Without the aid of
dictionaries... it's scary XD

  Oh.. right, I will remember that... I have not been exposed to
hexadecimal... yet (I suppose I will learn a lot about that in the
network curse...).

  Best Regards

P.S: tomorrow I will try paperkey... may the Force be with me ;)
