My lover just told me that she saw someone use a DEPOSIT SLIP as a check
at our local food coop, by writing on it, "this is a check. Pay to the
order of ...".  That would meet the possible requirement of having the
MCR codes on it.  I am going to try to pay my VISA bill to B of A with a
deposit slip from my Crocker account, and see what happens.
  I have also gotten back checks that had an additional piece of paper
attached to it with MCR codes on it, which she, who worked in a bank
before she discovered VAXen, says is attached by the Federal Reserve
System if their equipment cannot read the imprinting on the check.
