Very Computer

There are one or two output reformatting programs that claim to do barcodes
(haven't tried any), but they seem to be kind of expensive.

I've searched high & low for a free program that will do barcodes, but
the only thing I came up with is a postscript program.  I needed to
print to HP laserjets (without the postscript option), so I converted
the postscript program into a C program that produces PCL format barcodes.
I then had to modify the printer script for our laserjet printers so
it would optionally use my C program as an output filter, looking for
specific character sequences and replacing them with the actual barcode.

It was a lot of work, and the interface print the barcodes is kind of
strange, but it works for us.  I can give you the C program if you think
it will help you, but you will have to modify your printer script yourself.

BTW, the only barcode my program will generate is 3 of 9.
