CMP ISBN Validator Description

CMP ISBN Validator is a handy applet that helps you proofread, interconvert, validate and tidy ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 (International Standard Book Number) references in HTML or other documentation. It takes the raw ISBN (which may contain dashes, lead, trail or embedded spaces or other miscellaneous junk), validates the check digit and insert the dashes in the proper places using a set of rules. Just paste the raw ISBN into the top "raw" box, click Tidy then copy the tidied ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 from the bottom boxes. When you run the ISBN Amanuensis as an application, it is even more automatic. You don't need to do any manual pasting and copying. Just click Paste to tidy the current contents of the clipboard. The tidied ISBN-13 replaces the old the raw text clipboard contents. This automatic feature is not available in the Applet version because the Applet sandbox considers it a security risk. Unfortunately the program cannot correctly place the dash between publisher and title for groups other than 0 and 1, i.e ISBN-10s that begin with other than 0 or 1. You can also use the ISBNValidate class in your own programs. The lead 0 is significant. ISBNs always contain 10 digits.
