UPC stands for Universal Product Code, and they are those bar codes that
you see in almost every items that you purchase now days.
This bar codes can be read-off quickly by a bar-code scanner.
Having a means to generate this bar codes can serve many useful
purposes. For example,
If you are owner of a movie theater, printing the bar code
on to the movie theater ticket could make counting of the tickets
and validation of the tickets a lot easier, just scan then with a
bar-code scanner ....    
 
 
Anyways, this program has been placed at milton-FTP site in the
subdirectory: "public/download/c128/application"
 
Thanks goes out to Robert J. Piskac (the author) for summitting the
program....by the way I think I misspelled his name in my previous
post, my apologies.
 
 
Sincerely,
