Bear Rock Technologies Releases New Bar Code Fonts For Windows and OS/2 

Makes Bar Code Technology Easily Accessible To All

(July 26, 1993) - PrintBar Bar Code Fonts, a selection of bar code fonts
compatible with Windows and OS/2, is now shipping from Bear Rock
Technologies Corporation.

PrintBar for Windows and OS/2 version 1.0 supports Code 39, UPC, EAN, ISBN,
Bookland EAN, Interleaved 2 of 5, POSTNET and FIM bar codes. Printer
support includes all printers compatible with Windows 3.1 or OS/2 2.1,
including dot matrix, laser and high resolution imagesetters.

"Today, the production of bar codes has become a necessity for most
businesses large and small," says President, Ken Futernick. "And because
an increasing number of people are using Windows and OS/2, Bear Rock
created PrintBar to offer them the capability of adding bar codes to their
Windows and OS/2 applications. N

Traditionally, bar code fonts were used for inventory tracking and retail.
Today, bar code font users are crossing every business profile. Graphic
artists, secretaries, accountants, clerks, executives, production and
manufacturing employees and many others are being asked to put bar codes
on something. These people don't "specialize" in producing bar codes, but
it's become increasingly important for them to have the ability to do so.

PrintBar 1.0 is easy to use; simply highlight the numbers/letters to be
converted into a bar code, select the chosen bar code font from the
pull-down fonts menu and a bitmap image of the bar code will appear on the
screen. PrintBar automatically translates the text and numbers into a bar
code. It works with the most popular page layout and graphic programs,
word processors, database managers, spreadsheets and more.

Fonts are packaged by bar code symbology family. Users can choose from four
packages, each containing PostScript and TrueType fonts in many sizes: 

UPC, EAN, ISBN, Bookland       $179
EAN Code 39                     179
Interleaved 2 of 5              179
POSTNET and FIM                  79

Hardware and system requirements are Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or
higher, or OS/2 version 2.1 or higher. Also required are an IBM compatible
personal computer, printer, monochrome or color monitor, and mouse. Adobe
Type Manager required for use with PostScript fonts only.
