Subject:  [VOICENWS] GoOCR 0.35

From: "Klaus Staedtler" <staedtler-przyborskiatweb.de> 

Franz Bakan has ported GoOCR 0.35 to OS/2

GOCR is an optical character recognition program, released under the GNU
General Public License. It reads images in many formats (pnm, pbm, pgm,
ppm, some pcx and tga image files (or PNM from stdin); if pnm-tools
installed and running linux-like system you can also use pnm.gz, pnm.bz2,
png, jpg, tiff,gif, bmp and others) and outputs a text file.

Note: the standard output of Sane (Scanner Acces Now Easy which is alo
ported  by Franz Bakan to OS/2) is pnm.

New:

        minor and major fixes (string\0 bugs)

        memory leak fixes by Duncan Edwards

        layout analysis or zoning (-m 4) improved, 

        now it detects pictures and columns much better

        the behavior of setting threshold (-l) is slightly changed

        wcsdup defined for non-gnu-systems (BSD), further Problems?

        better context correction for 10 (IO,lO)

        Fixes for S.Koledin examples "GlS"

        Euro-currency-sign detection added

        better pitch estimation for proportional font (needs to be
improved)

        make install DESTDIR= instead configure --prefix= (better?)

        use wchar_t by default, more simple code and -f works with
nonLinuxOS

        line detection more robust against vertical glued chars (js)

        -f UTF8 added (usefull for xterm -u8), should be default?

        handle vertical glued boxes (ex: g over T)
