Cool. Once we're set up I'll send you a pointer as a courtesy. We have no
intention of forking Ocrad, we just want to make it available so Windows
users can help us test recent changes to SpamBayes' scoring.

So far I've only run it with no command line args. A quick check with one
image I have laying about suggests that scaling up by two or three should
help recognition a bit. I'll do some more tests with it. Thanks for the
suggestion.

Not a problem. We're in the early stages as well of our endeavour as well.
