What do you mean with adventurous? Those versions published by joval
are all devel.

The stable version is available at
http://users.own-hero.net/~decoder/fuzzyocr/ and works fine.

There is nothing adventurous about them and the prerequisites are also
lower than for the devel stuff.

I am simply not able to continue development at the moment, but maybe
in a few weeks, I'll start again.

Best regards,

Chris
