would be nice to have an ocr software like GOCR
it would be helpful to have an DWG viewer, but as far as I know this is difficult to find open source and free

Could you use the search function next time because there was a request for an OCR program not too long ago. Thanks!
Also its easy to find a open source OCR program. there are hundreds of them on sourceforge.
Ok
I expressed myself badly putting 2 requests in one! Sorry!
I know there are (not too many)open source OCR programs.
I know there was a request, personally I think even GOCR works fine, but it is not portable!
Could be usefull when moving arround.
I expressed myself badly putting 2 requests in one! Sorry!
also a dwg or cad viewer could be usefull when moving without portable and only a USB stick in your pocket.
There are free ones but unfortunately I could not find a viewer open source.
So I am afraid this request will not have big success.
But would be usefull.
Sorry again, in the future I will be more careful!

Thank you Jeffery, Nicely done.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
I've done a bit of searching myself on this today as I needed an OCR app and they don't have any installed at work. Unfortunately I couldn't find any good OSS ones for Windows (Hopefully I just didn't look hard enough and someone else props up a goodie) but I did find Free OCR which seems to work quite well.
I was wondering if anyone is up to making a launcher?
Heres the spec -
