RE: Barcodes?

["Broadfoot, Kieran J" <Kieran.Broadfoot@xxxxxxx>]

Stu,

lets discuss this off list this week on IRC.  I think we could find some
time to take a look at this but as always never expect anything in a hurry!

Anyone have any knowledge of how to obtain catalogues of barcodes?  is
their
a central repository of this info on the web for most common goods or some
other central authority for barcodes?

Thanks
kieran

I got a friend of mine in the states to mail me over a CueCat when they
were

all the rage, it's still sitting here waiting to be put to use, but it does
work.

I plan to write an app that does a complete house inventory (Keiran, you
still interested?) for DVD's, CD's Vids etc as well as groceries. Have a
look
at "My Vision" at http://www.smgsystems.co.uk/ha
for an idea what I'm
aspiring toward.
