Bill Gribble asks:

Bill: On-line, no, but I have two copies of "Creating Your Own HP-41
Bar Code", HP's 80-page book on the subject (part number 82153-90019).

One is yours, if you like.  It's 8.5 by 11 inches, 10 ounces.  Send
s.a.s.e. to Joseph K. Horn / 1042 Star Route / Orange, CA 92667.

But... WHY???  If you are thinking about HP 48 barcode, then DON'T
use the 41 barcode scheme, which is probably the least efficient
barcode scheme ever designed.
