I bought a tattered copy of ORCA in a library sale, and I was planning
to do as you suggest above if time ever allows.  Just out of
curiosity, should only the text be OCRed, or do you want the page
numbers as well?  I ask because I notice that the page numbers appear
to be in among the text of PG you have in the current system (I
haven't done any exhaustive testing, though).
