Unfortunately, you were just pipped by Derek - better luck next time!

It's all good  I would have found it tough to set one, anyway.

Looked on the internet
Tried two or three apps
My Goal: To Duplicate QR Codes
I Fail; Totally
Results:
- These apps READ the QR Code accurately.
- They get the DATA correct (e.g., This is QR-Code "XYZ-123" or whatever)
- Then comes the time to WRITE that same data onto a duplicate QR-Code
- The actual DATA itself is correct, but the QR-Code doesn't look anything the same.
I poke around and become a ten minute internet expert.
My best guess: The QR-Code Generator uses the correct data gleaned from the original QR-Code, then creates the (ostensibly) "Duplicate" QR-Code using a different "Version" and/or "Correction Level".
Again, for emphasis: That's a guess. I welcome advice and direction from someone who (unlike me at this moment) knows what he's talking about.

Sounds like you're on the right track.
The "version" is essentially the size, and generally you have no direct control over that.
What really drives it is "correction level", and the character set (I forget their terminology).
Of course people that get fancy and put a graphic in the middle can make life difficult... That all works by using a really high correction level to compensate for the deliberate corruption.
I've used a couple of QR generators, and they do produce identical images given the same input (whew!)
My current goto is qrencode under Linux. There may be a Windows port.
On Android, I use "QR Code Reader and Scanner - Qr scanner", quite the swiss army knife. Reads, creates, saves, flicks on to browser, ...

Has anybody downloaded anything from archive.org? I was thinking of using it but am not sure it is safe.

if you decided to try a link : you can put the link in https://VirusTotal.com[^] and it will scan the link (web page or whatever endpoint) with like 60 virus scanners.
Also, if you download a pdf or exe or whatever you can then upload it to VirusTotal.com (before running or opening) and scan it that way too, to determine if it is likely to contain a virus.

Cool! Very helpful. Thank you.

yes, it is safe.
I download documents and audio files all the time from that site.
Archive.org is great.

It's a great site and it's safe.
Cheers,

Hello...
I have developed a complete desktop document management system that is in its final phases of completion. The application can currently store PDF, Doc, Docx, and TXT files based on any of up to 5 category levels.
Currently, this application is completely developed with WPF with a Firebird Embedded Database Engine.
I would like to ask if the community members here could see any general interest if I eventually released it for downloading with additional file types being allowed for minimally charged fees (ie: $1.99 per extension).
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you...

Yes, each of the document types does have a general text-search for within the document...

Back in the dark ages of 1990 I worked at a place that among other things resold "Document Management Systems" While this behemoth that ran windows 2.2 (really) could only save as tiff, it could text search whole folders via ocr. This permitted scanning truck loads of records then at a later date look for a string find the results that linked to documents and high-lit the stings in the document(s).

You mean like grep -r "search text" * ?
|
|
|
|
|
Not all document types are searchable as plain text.

My application is not designed for business use but personal use...

I'd prefer Google Desktop. You competing with "free".

To my knowledge, Google Desktop is not a document management system but a word-processor...

Google Desktop is not a document management system, no matter how you slice or dice it. You should review what these types of systems do.
For example, SharePoint is a document management system for the enterprise. Its features in no way resemble anything that Google Desktop would provide except for the search mechanism.

Depends on your definition.

Ehr, and what?
So you got a hardon for Document Management and SharePoint. Wanna try to explain what is wrong with Google Documents?
