[Bug-ocrad] really bad recognition in Windows version

[Marko ŽZmak]

I tried ocrad for windows (downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61702&package_id=200509)
but I get really bad results. For example I took a screenshoot of this page:

http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/download.html

cut out the first paragraph and saved it as ppm.

I tried ocrad on it but it recognized lees than every other character. Here
is the output:

I tried changing some command line options (size, threeshold), but nothing
helped.
Could someone help me out with this? Is ocrad really so bad at recognizing
text, or do I have to change some options in order to recognize the text
better?
