There are a couple tools available to extract BMPs from WarCraft and StarCraft games. The one that I used extracted every character into one really, really tall bitmap, with the frames evenly spaced out. I went through it manually, highlighting and copying every frame to a new file. Sometimes I would accidently get off by a pixel or two, and would have to start over.

Yes, that took an absolutely mind-boggling amount of time, and I don't think I would ever do something like that again. Now I'd just create a program to extract them myself.
