Subject: OT: RiscOS BBS software (and some OCR stuff)

Slightly off-topic, I know - but I'm thinking about resurrecting my old 
BBS, except this time sticking it on a spare RiscPC 600 and connecting 
it to the Internet.

A quick search turned up several pay-for packages which are now no 
longer available. Does anyone know where to get some software to do this?

And a quick heads up, following on from the talk on the list about 
scanning in old magazines - have a look at Google Docs OCR: 
http://googlecodesamples.com/docs/php/ocr.php*

*At the moment it's just a technology demonstration and not massively 
accurate, but it looks like it could quickly become quite useful.

Cheers,
TOM
