OCR gets better!

[Willem van der Walt]

Yes, ocrad IMHO is better than gocr.
Abby for linux is not available as single-user license and the sdk which 
includes a command-line client is priced at around $7000.00

The last time I have tried to compile socrates I got errors.
I will try again.
Regards, Willem
