I have a shell script (and a PostScript prologue)
to print Universal Product Code bars.

The first lines of the script follow:
#!/bin/sh
# upc -- print upc code with PostScript
# usage:  upc prod code-5 code-5
# prod is the product type (zero for store items)
# code-5 is a five digit code (needs two of these)
