- Distribution:

- It is forbidden to include this on a magazine coverdisk without first
- writing to me to make sure you include the latest version, and also,
- I'd appreciate a copy of the magazine featuring my program.
- No other limitations are implied on the distribution.
-
- If you include this routine in your programs, please consider giving
- me credit for what I've done, and why not send me a copy of the program?

- ***********
- BackGround:
- ***********
- I came across an algorithm for checking credit card numbers, and decided
- to write this short program to put the algorithm to the test.
- I can't actually think of a use for this (Except maybe you'd like to
- incorporate the routines in an automated ordering program like the SASG
- registration program)
- If you can think of a use for this, please mail me, and I'll do more work on
- this ;^)
-
- This program will check the checksum of a card, and report it as valid/invalid,
- as an added bonus, it will print the issuer of the card if known.
- I only know the prefix of a few banks, If you send me the name of your Bank
- or Building Society, and the first four numbers of your credit/debit card, I'll
- add support for them.
-
- *NB* This is not a means for me to get credit card numbers for fraudulent
- purposes. I only need the first four numbers of your card, this is useless
- to a fraudster, but allows me to identify cards from different banks/building
- societies.
