   FWIW, looking at the .pdf file with a pager reveals that it is in that
format. Regardless, I built and installed gocr. Then I used pdftoppm
followed by 'convert' to convert the files to .pgm. Gocr does well enough on
the really poor copy it was fed that it will take less time to clean up the
ASCII text than to re-key everything.

Thanks,

Rich
