We have a number of HP9000/300's (375's and 345's) and recently we acquired
an HP Scanjet Plus.  We are planning on connecting it via the centronics
interface on the 375 - and one of our local SE's is providing us with some
limited control software to interface the 375 and the scanner.  I understand
that after scanning a page/document/whatever one is left with a file that is
in a PCL format.

Does anyone have or know of any OCR software that has been ported onto an HP9000
Series 300 ??  (We are running HP-UX 7.0 currently, soon to be 7.0.3).

Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated.
