-NETWORK LINKS
-=============
-
-This is GNU-barcode. The latest release can be downloaded from ftp.gnu.org
-and mirrors:
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/barcode/
-
-It is also available from my own ftp/http server
- ftp://ar.linux.it/pub/barcode/
- http://ar.linux.it/pub/barcode/ (same as above).
-
-The current source tree is available by anonymous CVS. See
- http://ar.linux.it/software/#cvs
-
-Plesae note that ar.linux.it/pub/barcode also includes CVS snapshots,
-semi-atumatically taken when I commit stuff to CVS. Note that CVS
-snapshots include "CVS/" directories, so you can then "cvs update" for
-further updates.
-
-The documentation is online at:
- http://ar.linux.it/software/barcode
-
-The MS-Windows port is maintained at:
- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/barcode.htm
-
-It as also been included in the FreeBSD ports tree in the "graphics" section.
-This means /usr/ports/graphics/barcode. It's thus available from:
- http://www.freebsd.org/ports/graphics.html
-
-GLabels, at http://snaught.com/glabels/, uses barcode internally, too.

-DESCRIPTION
-===========
-
-The package is meant to solve most needs in barcode creation with a
-conventional printer. It can create printouts for the conventional
-product tagging standards: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, ISBN, as well
-as a few other formats. Ouput is generated as either Postscript or
-Encapsulated Postscript (other back-ends may be added if needed).
-
-The package is released as both a library and a command-line frontend,
-so that you can include barcode-generation into your application. The
-program is released in the hope that is proves useful but without any
-warranty, according to the GPL Licence (see ./COPYING).
-
-If you're specifically interested in making an ISBN (Bookland EAN)
-symbol, you might try to get "bookland.py" by Judah Milgram
-(http://www.cgpp.com/bookland/, whose version 0.92 is also included in
-the directory "bookland" within this package, for your convenience).
-While my main target is flexibility his main target is strict
-adherence to the standards. Bookland is free software like the barcode
-library and will probabily have its role in the GNU project.
-Bookland.py is a self-documenting program, you'll enjoy browsing its
-source code.
-
-Other contributed patches and/or software are available in the
-contrib/ directory.
-
-Please take the "no-warranty" disclaimer seriously: even though I
-spent reasonable efforts to make sure the output is useable in
-production you should verify it suits your needs as a faulty bar can
-cost you a bundle, and you'll be on your own. It's up to you to verify
-that the symbol is valid (and, obviously, I'd like to know about any
-problem you encounter). [This paragraph copied verbatim from bookland.py]
