I found the problem: When I created the bazaar file etc., the editor appended the standard MS Windows (DOS) line terminations, i.e. <CR><LF>; whereas all other files that come with Tessract have Unix style line terminations, i.e. <LF>. That's why they are ill-formatted in the standard Notepad.exe - the, much better, Notepad2 displays everything correctly and also allows to save the files with Unix line terminations. Doing this eliminated the problem. It appears that the code does not handle line terminations in a way that makes it platform independent - noting that the output files are also written with Unix line terminations in a DOS environment. So, it may have tried to open C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata/eng.user-words<CR>, which obviously does not exist. * I wonder why this was not a problem for anyone else?* This can typically be overcome by opening text files explicitly as text files (which then recognises the different terminations at the different platforms) and using things like fgetl, which removes the line termination. Conversely, when such files are written, the \n is handled as expected by the platform. So, the files are now found; but the whole text in eurotext.tif is still returned - it appears that disabling of the default language resources in bazaar did not work. Could you please run the example in the manual on a MS Windows machine and check if it works for you. Thanks, Uwe
