Hi Gustav at all -- Have a look I have made a "micro research" on bar- and QR- code reading programs for WP7: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/stest/BarCodeReaders.htm Yes, i-nigma is surely a "favorite toy" now but I didn't get setup a few programs mentioned in my research because they are not available on Russian market. The above page is a copy and paste from MS Excel worksheet. If you're interested in the published info please make a copy of it as I'm planning to remove this web page in a few days and probably publish a short note with this info on a Russian web site Thank you. -- Shamil 20 декабря 2011, 11:57 от "Gustav Brock" <Gustav at cactus.dk>: > Hi Shamil > > Thanks, i-nigma looks promising indeed.
