It only generates a specific sort of UPC code (in particular it can't generate the sort used in the UK), but it might help. pbmupc 0 72890 00011 | pgmtops | lp -dps prints out bar codes on my system. I realise that for a VMS system, some munging of the command line is required. In order to make the characters bigger, you can use the scale option of pgmtops, or use an enlarging photocopier on the output.
