Barcodes:

        Much to my suprise, the PBMplus package enables you to
generate some barcodes -- check out 'pbmupc'. It only generates a
specific sort of UPC code (in particular it can't generate the sort
used in the UK), but it might help.

        pbmupc 0 72890 00011 | pgmtops | lp -dps

prints out bar codes on my system. I realise that for a VMS system,
some munging of the command line is required. In order to make the
characters bigger, you can use the scale option of pgmtops, or use an
enlarging photocopier on the output.

    Why don't I just go zootlewurdle? Does it matter? Even if it does
    matter, does it matter that it matters?
