RE: Those effing CDs that rock

Duncan,

Having dealt with thousands of lines of Parts List descriptions, I can
tell you that current OCR technology is next to useless on these BMC
publications.

Not only is the text font very hard to OCR, but any OCR mistake will
render a search engine useless (human eyes can see that PMVV!039 is the
same as PMW1039, but a computer can't - ask me how I know!)
