[Spambayes] Unwanted stock solicitations

[Kasper Vibe Grevsen]

Hi friends,

as posted elsewhere there is a NetPbm port for Windows. I think it would be beneficial for Windows users
if it was possible to use that with SpamBayes instead of having to setup PIL/Python.

I am trying to make ocrad run in combination with SpamBayes for Windows as well.

First: The ocrad.exe in the download section is according to the version info really v. 0.14 and is exactly the
same as the one in the windows installer package (and not v. 0.15 as tagged in the download area!).

Secondly: Yes, the program runs from CMD and it actually produces very nice output, but the pnm-file you
link to are apparently invalid.

Third: You seem to have the scale parameter format wrong, that's why the output is so bad.

Ok, here is how to test it:

-Download IrfanView from http://www.irfanview.com/download_sites.htm
-Download and open the pnm file from the link
-Select Edit -> Copy then Edit -> Paste in the menu (to create a new, non-corrupted image)
-Save as PGM (What I did, but other P*M formats should work too)
-Now execute ocrad

Here are two test runs. First one with incorrect parameter format as in your example. Second with correct scaling parameter:
