I went through there myups account and coundn't find anything useful. That
is why I posted here to see if anyone could think of anything faster than
what I came up with.
Where did you get your examples from? The manual I am reading is completely
contrary to what you provided.
What I have is
1)sum all the odds
2)sum all the evens and multiply by 2
3)add results of 1) and 2) together
4) subtract 3) from the next multiple of 10
5 The remainder of 4 is your checkdigit.
Is yours just a different spin on this? Or am I reading some manual from
the 20's?
