I am looking for a program to make barcodes for printing on mailing envelopes. The US Post Office has their own type of barcoding called POSTNET. Ordinarily you have to go to a service bureau for a lot of dollars to print POSTNET barcodes. I am looking for a program to print barcodes using this system. I have found programs to print almost every type of barcode, but none does POSTNET. I don't imagine to find this capability as a font, but this seemed like the closest thing to what I'm looking for. I'm looking for programs in MS/PC-DOS. Thanks for your help. -Jennie Leete, Macalester College Leete@Mac.cc.macalstr.edu Internet Leete@Macalstr Bitnet

Make-env.tex, posted to comp.text.tex in February, does just what you want, so long as you have TeX on your PC. Works fine, though a roundabout solution. +j

I don't know anything about a "POSTNET" font but you can send your Adress & Zip(+4) code to USPS PO Box 7897 Mt. Prospect, Il 60056-9821 and they will send you a film with the Barcode for your address. Specify FIM/A for a reply letter or FIM/B for a "Postage paid by Adressee" type letter. fh

It was posted to comp.text.tex. (It works fine under MS-DOS with emTeX.) Dimitri Vulis CUNY GC Math DLV@CUNYVMS1.BITNET DLV@CUNYVMS1.GC.CUNY.EDU
