I have a bunch of PDF files that contain the microcode
listings for an IBM
7201-02 CE (enhanced system/360 model 65), like this one:
http://ibm360-console.wikispaces.com/file/view/QZ001.pdf. I need their
contents for the emulator that drives my '65 control panel. Unfortunately,
the OCR software I have tries to recognize English words, and makes
gibberish out of them. I'm only interested in the 1's and 0's, so it would
be wonderful if there was OCR software that you can tell only to look for
0's and 1's (or have some bias towards recognizing characters as a 1 or 0.
Is anyone here aware of such software, or can anyone recommend a program
that might do a good job with these? I've been copying sections by hand,
but
that gets very tedious when there's 2,816 lines of data, each having 100
0's
and 1's...
Dunno about OCRs, but I believe a simple program can address this. If
the limit is 1 or 0 a simple OCR program can be coded, separing the chars
and looking for the histogram of each char...
