- 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.
