No, you've got it wrong.
The chars[] array declared in inc.c: do_incremental_crack() is indexed
with the position, and the lookup result is a pointer to a 3D array,
which is in turn indexed with 2 preceding character values (ASCII codes
minus CHARSET_MIN) and the index (not directly related to ASCII code)
for the character to be tried. The final lookup result is the ASCII
code for that character.
