    To clarify a little, what I want to do is, for example, recognize
characters in a graphics image (saved, for example, as a Sun
rasterfile on disk).  The graphics image could have text as part of
the image, and I want the computer to be able to recognize characters
in the image.  Positions and fonts of the characters are assumed to
be unknown.  The image is already "scanned in".  I now want to be
able to read it using OCR software.
