I have some listings I want to convert to ASCII.  They're line printer
output from a computer that existed from the mid-sixties to the early 70's
(Agage AGT series).

I can't find any OCR package that can take scanner output (either PDF or
JPEG) and convert it to text with roughly the same number of spaces between
words as was there originally.

Seems like it would be an easy task.  The input is non-proportional text
from line printer output (actually it might have been printed on a Diablo
hytype).  And yet all I get is most of the characters with either no or
single spacing between words.  And it misses quite a bit of scanned
characters at that.

Anyone have any good experiences trying to do this?  I've attached a PDF
scan if you have a way to do a test run.

Thanks,

Marc Howard
