 Hello all, I am having a hard time decoding the information on the side of 
 some Super8 film I have (3 rolls of recent color negative, and 3 rolls of 
 somewhat older Ektachrome). I'm trying to figure out if there is an 
 expiration date somewhere in the printed matter in there, and feeling rather 
 dim.

I believe Kodak used to put expiration dates on super-8 products sold under the 
consumer label.
Since super8 is now part of the regular professional catalog, there are no 
expiration dates on these products.
There is a manufacturer's code on the box which tells Kodak from which batch 
the roll comes from.
If you call Kodak and give them that number, they should be able to give you an 
approximate date of manufacture.
