Erik Auerswald bbdc4a179f README: warn against use of @gmail.com addresses
Google is blocking my answer emails to @gmail.com addresses.  So I
can only advise to use a real email provider, not Google.  If one
cannot do that, or does not want to, one can open a GitHub issue
instead.

Seven Segment Optical Character Recognition or ssocr for short is a
program to recognize digits of a seven segment display. An image of one
row of digits is used for input and the recognized number is written
to the standard output. The program runs on GNU/Linux (some GNU/Linux
distributions provide an ssocr package), FreeBSD (available as a port
as well), Mac OS X (Homebrew can be used to install the library Imlib2,
used by ssocr), and even on Windows (using Cygwin). ssocr should work
on any UNIX-like or POSIX compatible operating system.
Unless ssocr is installed via some packaging system, e.g. from a GNU/Linux
distribution, it is distributed in source form and needs to be built
before it can be used. See the INSTALL file for instructions on how to
build ssocr.
A manual for ssocr is available in the form of a man page named ssocr.1,
you can read it using "make ssocr.1 && man ./ssocr.1" (without the
quotes).
You can get the current ssocr version from the official ssocr website:
http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~auerswal/ssocr/
(Links to ssocr should point to the official website, not to a convenience
copy of the development repository, e.g. on GitHub.)
I am usually quicker to reply to emails than to GitHub issues. But
increasingly Google blocks emails sent by me, so if you do not receive
an answer from me, consider opening a GitHub issue. Perhaps your mail
provider does not allow you to read my solutions to your ssocr problems.
Especially if you are using an @gmail.com address, and you do not receive
an answer to an email, it is most likely that Google blocked that answer.
In that case, you can either follow up with a GitHub issue or use a better
email provider than Google.
