ISBN-13 checksums worth checking out

ISBN-13 checksums worth checking out

[Emanuel Berg via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

Dear Emacs comrades, yes, my life has derailed
a bit, which explains my absence from the
programming scene.

But today, after a superhuman effort, I finally
did some of it again - and I couldn't have
picked a more urgent topic!

Alright, enough with the suspension, just like
Uri Geller can bend a spoon while still
connected to the Matrix (20 years: 1999-2019),
you guessed it, I added support for
ISBN-13 checksums!

  https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/isbn-new.el

The new stuff is at lines 29-51. It seems to...
check out.

Right?

I yank it last (now) if you don't want to
follow the URL.

;; NOTE: This isn't a replacement of the old
;;       stuff URLd above, this is an all new
;;       little project to compute ISBN
;;       checksums with Elisp

;; Update: November 2019, support for ISBN-13!

;; here is how the ISBN checksums work:
