I have a few rather thick text printouts from the mid-1970's on 132 column
paper,standard fanfold stuff printed out from DEC teletypes and line printers
I'm wondering what the best way to scan this in would be, to get actual text
outputthat's readable and usable ?
In most cases there is no way even the best OCR could tell the difference betweenan
"L", "l", "1" or "I", and "O" or
"0" is just as bad.
Hand-typing over 6" thick printout is not my idea of fun.
Any bright ideas?
there's one in particular I want to scan in and get documented, as there's an
old-wives tale about the code I want to verify if it's true
(it's an original 1970's printout of Zork in Fortran that is supposedly
"auto-correcting" after a fashion)not that I buy it...
