Try to use ocrad with the following options: giftopnm image001.gif > image001.pnm # ocrad -s5 image001.pnm # ocrad -s5 -i pic image001.pnm Best Regards, Leon Kolchinsky _______________________________________________ Bug-ocrad mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ocrad
