I don't know if this is what you're interested in, but USPS barcodes are
easy.
<BR>There is a graphic object that ships with Reports 2.5 called barcode9.ogd.
It allows you to translate a zip code to a barcode, and should work for
other barcodes too. Stephen Edelstein's <U>Learning Oracle Reports
2.5</U> includes a good tutorial, and shows you how to build a report to
print barcodes on envelopes from Ora Rep 2.5.
<BR>
<BR>In the windows 3.1 dev/2000, barcode9.ogd is in \orawin\report25\demo\reqfiles,
but you'll probably have to look for it.
