I have noticed a few postings here requesting information about
UPC barcode generation.

I have written a program for the Mac which includes the following
features:

* On screen display of barcode and interactive Mac'ish interface.
* Calculates checksum automatically
* Allows you to select the presence and position (mid or bottom)
  of type digit and checksum digit.
* Allows printing directly to PS printer or will save the barcode
  as a grouped object in a double-clickable (as they say) Adobe
  Illustrator file. You may then build around it.
* Will use Adobe's OCR-B font if installed on your system for
  human readable digits (as per UPC specs).
* Allows for selection of half-height bars

We use it to generate an Illustrator file containing the bar code.
Then we build a label around it, produce a film negative on an
L-300 and make a flexographic printing plate from it.

If anyone is interested it would probably be more expedient to
contact me directly as I'm not very active here.
