    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optical character recognition particularly suitable for cursive and scripted text in one or more of several languages follows the tracings of the script and encodes them as a sequence of directional vectors. It reads a preprocessed word or sub-word of interconnected characters as a unit and the characters are accepted in a specific language only if all characters in a unit have been recognized by testing against a first set of language-specific rules without leaving a remainder of any vectors in the unit. If there are vectors remaining unused, it moves a character marker to utilize more or fewer vectors for the current subword in order to obtain recognition. If the vectors do not form a character in a first language, the invention consults a second set of language-specific rules and follows similar steps to obtain recognition of one or more characters against the second set of language-specific rules. Also disclosed is a computer-usable medium, for example a magnetic or optical storage diskette, containing code means to execute the invention.

    Abstract: A method and system for generating event information in a distributed computing environment. An event information packet is passed between the client system and the server system in a remote procedure call. Event information, such as trace data, is gathered in the event packet during execution of the remote procedure, and the event packet is passed back to the calling system when the procedure returns. The information in the event packet is made available for use by a program, such as a debugging utility or other application, running in the address space of the client system.
