The thing is that the codes are only available for money. You have to buy TV guide or a Newspaper to get the popular codes, and call a 900 number to get some of the more obscure codes. The idea then is to make up a chart of codes or a small computer program to generate them for free. Check over in sci.electonics, the first 100 codes have already been broken, and I hear that codes 100-1000 are on the way. -john- -- ============================================================================= John A.
