Well, a quick search of freshmeat showed at least 3 OCR programs in
development stages, but none had a stable release.
However, I don't see how you get from ancient Greek to ASCII without
actually translating the text. Perhaps you already have a program to do
that? Definitely worthy, if somewhat specialized. Hmm, that'd be a
good candidate for a government grant program (to write the free
software).
