- There ARE algorithms out there that claim to do this, but it is my
- understanding that they are not anywhere close to reliable in their ability
- to varify a person's signature. This is one of those Artificial Intelligence
- things that just hasn't gotten developed fully. Also consider that the
- resolution of most pen computers is much less than that which we see when
- we look at a signature on paper.
