Barcode Software

Look here for "legal" action. If you are from Digital Convergence or Kenyon and Kenyon, please read this letter and respond. Because only a few authors of CueCat software have gotten The Letter, and now ReaderWare is apparently shipping its software with CueCat decoder abilities, and you have never explained what it is that I am doing wrong, I can only conclude that I am doing nothing wrong. Otherwise, you surely would have told me specifically what to stop doing, and also gone after all the other people making and distributing CueCat software. I eagerly await your reply. I will know when you have seen it. I am also mailing it to you.

;Cue;Feline Software

• FooCat BarCode, version 0.1.2. This contains three programs and a common library. "Decode" is a command-line program that accepts scans on stdin and writes decoded output to stdout. Output includes Amazon and Cue info. Foocat-applet is a Gnome Panel Applet that sits in the panel and displays the results of scans. It also opens Netscape to the Cue url. This package was one known as "cuecat decoder."
  
  
  
  
• ReaderWare supports the CueCat, as of August 23rd.

Other Software

• The Gnome panel applet included with my decoder
• FooCat-GTK (See right). Coming soon!
• some other stuff, I'm sure (email me).

Hardware

• PS/2 Keyboard adapter for Palm III and V ... supplies 50ma @ 5V. Anyone know if that's enough for the ;Cue;Mammal? UPDATE apparently it is; the cuecat draws 22.5ma.
• Build your own RS232 adapter, from Pierre's Linux driver package. I put it here for your browsing convenience.
