Thanks, loading a hashtable with all the possible characters and then
hashing each isolated character in the image sounds like an intelligent
idea. However, I'm short on graphics programming experience. Do you have
any links to resources for manipulating images on such a small
pixel-by-pixel scale? Are there library classes specifically tailored to
this kind of work?
