No need to go for a PC solution.  As has been pointed out, a capable commercial
bar code NeXTSTEP app is available, but if all you need is either UPC or 3 of 9
formats, then a PD app and Service called BarCodes by Joe Freeman is available
from sonata.  Although it's a 2.0 app, I just fired it up under 3.0 and it
seems to work fine.
