Oh well. Nothing that can't be fixed with a script.

Unfortunately for me, my last experience with OCR was ca. 1990.
We had a 200-page document with no source files, tried OCR'ing it,
and ended up having a typist do it for us. I'm sure the technology
has improved since then. :-)  I've had an email off-list from a
kind soul who took your advice about OCRshop and is grabbing the
PBM tarball as I type.

Status report later tonight....
