Freeware barcode scanner utility

Tue Jan 16 03:33:08 PST 2001

Many of you may be familiar with the cuecat barcode scanner being given away
at Radio Shack and elsewhere. It reads most types of barcodes including UPC,
ISBN and even the tracking numbers on UPS packages. The software that comes
with the cuecat is supposed to be snoopware--it is designed to send
everything you scan to an internet database, which points you to a web site
related to the product you just scanned. I never installed the driver
software, but instead wrote a VB program that reads the output of the
scanner, displays the data in a text box, and optionally automatically
copies it to the clipboard without generating any network traffic. Enjoy!
