Not from GB, but Basicode has also been popular in Germany,
later on combined with Supertape format to get a comon tape
exchange for a real lot of homecomputers. Also most of the
porgramms that have been published using a bar code printout
in magazines used Basicode, to reach as many readers as
possible.
