The protocol is to send a request that includes appropriate
identification information along with a 13 byte EAN identifier.

The response is to repeat the first 28 bytes of the request, a five
character byte count (ASCII) followed by  information on the EAN.  The
five character byte count specifies how many characters of information
on the EAN are being returned.  The first character of the returned EAN
data will always be a "#", followed by 33 characters of the title
associated with the EAN.  There is a fixed format for the returned data
and if that will help, I can send that to you.

That is the entire protocol.

Thanks for any help you can provide.  I prefer using the Indy stuff if I
can because it is supported and I already have a couple of 3rd party
packages that have to be upgraded with each new Delphi release.
