Thanks; I think I just hit a bad run of ones that only did QR or wouldn't
save/send barcodes as text.  I swear I downloaded at least three, and read
the summaries for at least four others.

What I'd really like is one that would make the phone pretend to be a
bluetooth barcode scanner, or pass the barcodes over wifi.  But I think
that might be asking a bit too much.
