Translator's Note:
This code was printed with an article called "Magnetic Stripe Reading" by 
Redbird in 2600 Volume 22, Number 1 (Spring 2005).
It is useful for decoding Magstripe using a computer sound card.
I have tested it with a microphone and ensured the accuracy of this 
reproduction to a fair degree. I have not tried it with a magnetic sensor yet.
Since it was released under the MIT License, I have modified it very slightly 
and am re-releasing it.
