Hello, let's talk bar code readers. How do they work? What do those little stripes mean? What brands are good? What software do they work with or do they emulate the keyboard so scanning something is the same as typing it? Thanks. robs@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu

People have asked me for summaries of what I got about bar codes. Pretty much it is, "Look in the back of magazines." Also the readers, usually, hook right into the ADB network. robs@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu "I wasn't talking to YOU!" -- Worf
