Franz Bakan has ported GOCR 0.3.5 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 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)
