Welcome !

The CueCat project is a concerted effort to support and make use of the :Cue:C.A.T.[tm] barcode reader under the Linux operating system.

DigitalConvergence Corp. are the makers of the device and graciously give it away for free to anyone who asks for one, or through their business partners, such as RadioShack, Forbes and many others.

Why are we doing the CueCat project ? DigitalConvergence's software, called C.R.Q.[tm], only runs under the Windows operating system. But we wish to take advantage of this fine device under our favorite operating system, Linux. Moreover, we recognize the enormous potential of this device for applications other than what the C.R.Q.[tm] software currently does, so we decided to implement them as well.
