  I was told that there was some information about I/R remotes
such as those used with VCRs, TVs etc.  floating around this news
group, in particular a hardware project involving a computer interface
was mentioned.
  Can anyone provide me with information about this project or point
me to some books on the subject, preferably ones that would include
full circuit descriptions.
  I have an article from a magazine that shows how to build a simple
on/off remote switch but it does not deal with encoding/decoding the
signals as is done in commercial devices nor interfacing it with a
computer.

Please mail replies directly to me if possible.
