I am pleased to announce, after 11 years from the last release, that

supports a variety of standard codes to represent the textual strings
and creates postscript output.

- Supports UPC, EAN, ISBN, CODE39 and other encoding standards
- Postscript and Encapsulated Postscript output
- Accepts sizes and positions as inches, centimeters, millimeters
- Can create tables of barcodes (to print labels on sticker pages)
