I would like to ask a question on behalf of a friend without news
access. He is looking for more information on a standard used
in barcoding called "FACT-1 Data Identifier Standard", it is
referenced by the draft ANSI standard MH10.8M-199X. The ANSI
standard explains only 6 of these identifiers (which are used as
prefixes to other codes, and identify what the remainder of
the code means).

FACT stands for "Federation of Automated Coding Technologies", and
they are based in Pittsburgh, PA. A call to directory assistance
resulted in a number with a "sorry our voice mail system is
full" message !

If anyone can shed any light on this standard, preferably
in electronic form, I'd appreciate it (actually, my friend
would appreciate it more !)..

Thanks,
