Chris

Thank you for considering this. 

I've been following your developments and looking at how to integrate with my (few) systems. But as I don't have a test environment (until I have built a VMWare one) I was cautious at trying this with one of the live box's. Zero scoring seemed to be a good way round this.

Alan

FuzzyOcr does not use a standard rule to score but does the scoring
itself.

But to the main subject:

I haven't tried it out, but to archieve a zero score, you could as
well try to set the scores that are configurable to 0, or to a very
small amount... Also I recommend only using 2.3b in production
environments :)

SA treats a 0-scored rule as a rule that must not be run.

Score at 0.01 and the rule will fire, but should have a non-significant 
impact.
