I've developed a little Lout package that will enable you to generate
barcodes from lout.3.04 (or later).

Usage is very simple. Add the following line to the include portion of
your lout file

    @SysInclude { barcodes }

and every time you wish to use the barcode font use the following
syntax

    {BarCode Base} @Font { object }


The font is a 3 of 9 barcode font developed by Willem van Schaik.

The package is available as lout.barcodes.1.0.tar.gz and can be found
with the rest of the Lout distribution at

    ftp://ftp.cs.su.oz.au/jeff/

Peter
