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!
