Yes i got the info from the same source.
But as you can see there is not very clear an answer for my above question.

My code above is done supposing that if there are 3 digits for the Number System (country) then the first one is ignored for the barcode calculation.

I'll see how have you done it in your excellent PDF and Print libs...

Thank you a lot for it.

ok i will try to explain on an example i have here :

978: International Standard Book Numbering (ISBN)

Digits 1-3:Number system
Digits 4-12:part of the isbn system
Digit 13:Checkdigit

DATA BECKERS Computerbuch Klassiker DR DOS 5.0

EAN13 code :

9783890115283

this means when you have a number system that consists of three digits you have only 4 digits for the manufacturer code.

THis is cool, atleast, when you buy a Skannerz (or something like that. It's a toy with that you scan barcodes and with some luck you can have a "monster" in it.)

You don't need anymore to go shopping and secretly scan some codes with your Skannerz, now you have just to create a random barcode and print it out and scan them..

@_MYSELF_: Why do I speak of old toys and why am I so kid-sh?

He already did it.
Each year he is more obscure and more far in his photo, like galaxies; the farer, the older.
