Barcode Express
BCE is a little app that I wrote in my spare time when I first got a barcode reader. It's
designed to help with looking up informaton on books and other items with barcodes. Currently
BCE supports the following barcodes:
- UPC-a, the format commonly used on commercial items
- ISBN, used on all books as a general publishing index
- Borders BINC, used by Borders Books & Music for identifying all their books.
Scanning a barcode with an ASCII barcode scanner, or inputing the code
data manually, brings up a little window with all the information obtainable
from the barcode, and options for places online to look up information.
BINC codes also present which store it was purchased from.

BCE is a free program to use, and can be distributed as you please.
