GNU Barcode v. 0.99 (5/3/2024)	Readme/What's new	Hello everyone, this is the OS/2 - ArcaOS port of GNU barcode, a simple software to create barcode strips to encode strings or alphanumerical codes. Did some quick try and it worked pretty well. I was searching for a QR code creation software but for now I can content myself with this. You'll find in the bin directory the OS/2 binary together with a help text screen dump. The software prints out a postscript file (or a PCL file if you specify it on the command line), so be sure to have Ghostview / Ghostscript on your system in order to use the resulting file. Hope you'll like this little piece of software I got from https://github.com/tineo/barcode-0.99
