0.17-4 reads:


        -o <file>
            place the output into <file>

        -x <file>
            export OCR Results File to <file>

0.21-1 reads:

       -o, --output=<file>
              place the output into <file>

       -x, --export=<file>
              export OCR Results File to <file>

If possible, please have it read:

       -o, --output=<file>
              save the extracted text from image to output into <file>

       -x, --export=<file>
              export results in orcad speficic format to <file>

I would also add contents of the README to the "DESCRIPTION" section of manual
page. Patch attached.
