 Neil,

Aargh, I just experienced another of those SGMs. I (in the spirit of the current PC culture) misspoke as to the name of the OCR program I use. In fact it's OmniPage Direct OCR! For any who are interested.

That name rings a bell. OmniPro.

I thought to try some kind of OCR on those files Frank and Alistair
kindly provided, but due to ADD, or SGM*, I got distracted.

Thanks for posting your input and the link Frank!
