- /*
- * cuecat.c
- *
- * This code creates barcodes as intended for use with the CueCat scheme (without the
- * "cue" symbol which may still be trademarked). As the system was ultimately not
- * successful this is now simply a curiosity.
- *
- * "The CueCat, styled :CueCat with a leading colon, is a cat-shaped handheld barcode
- * reader that was released in 2000 by the now-defunct Digital Convergence Corporation.
- * The CueCat enabled a user to open a link to an Internet URL by scanning a barcode —
- * called a "cue" by Digital Convergence — appearing in an article or catalog or on
- * some other printed matter."
- *
- * For more information:
- * https://linas.org/banned/cuecat/www.fluent-access.com.wtpapers.cuecat.index.html
