I think this is the same barcode reader, though the author says
"another barcode reader example". I could not find the former on his
site. Good news is that I found an excellent explanation of how a
barcode is decoded so I think that I have most of the info I need to
start writing my little project. Once I get something actually
"working" regardless of how kludgy it is I'll be sure to pass it along
to the list (even if it is just good for a laugh).
Thanks everyone for giving me a diversion this weekend, otherwise I
would have been forced  to get fresh air and sun with my wife!

Later,
Mark
