I'll volunteer my help if you wanted it. Can't say pulling apart
binary data is something I have a lot of experience in...

I do actually have an ulterior motive... I wrote my own inventory
system for the contents of my pantry, and I've been using that for the
last nine months to track things. I would have liked to get barcodes
automatically, but it seems that the data really isn't around. I've
collected about 400 barcodes and descriptions over this time (all
manually entered as encountered).

I'm actually in the middle of rewriting the software at the moment, as
I get time. When its done, it will likely be somewhat release-worthy,
unlike the current one.

Have fun...
