I have been searching for a scriptable application for making print-
ready (postscript) barcodes, but cannot find any.
I just want to.......:
tell app "barcode app"
set f to (make new code with properties {type: "EAN-13" value:
1234567890123, colour: black, size: 80%})
save f at somefile as eps
end
Does this app exist? Anyone got some recommendations?

barcodes are just fonts.
Buy a font and when you change the text from "blah" in times to
"blah" in barcode it will look right. the thing to be concerned
about is not as much the font as what the reader needs to demark
the beginning and end of the information on the barcode.
Thank you for the suggestion. I would prefer a proper barcode app
though.
Just using av font will be a concern for platform, an app will scale
the lines correctly, insert checksums for me, generate start and stop
characters etc, maybe give me cntrol over bar height etc.
