Any Accurate O C R Programs in DOS I can run in Linux?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Larry,
Again to be detailed, here is an answer from the freedos  list.  The 
person sending this references recent software ports they have done. 
Perhaps more work than you desire no idea.
enjoy,
Karen

I found two ocr programs in my DOS software collection. Both shareware.
The first is OCRSHARE (ver 2.2 1990), the other is PRO-CR (1.04 1989).
Both are from Shareware (ftp) archives so they might be still available
somewhere. Don't know how usable those might be. Haven't tested them.

Several months ago, I did a quick DJGPP ports of GNU Ocrad and
GOCR. Didn't thoroughly test them, but quick tests were successfull
(english texts + default USA DOS codepage). If you're brave, you can
play with that. You'll need CWSDPMI to run any of those. The archives
don't contain the source code.
