Barcode Command Line Tool 1.0

Our new command line tool for OS X will create all common linear and 2D area barcodes. The tool can be used directly in the Terminal on the command line but you can also call it from all common scripting languages like Python, Perl, AppleScript, Ruby etc. as well as from ordinary programming languages like C or Objective-C. An ideal solution for mass production of all sorts of barcodes.

The software supports all common linear and 2D barcodes. It is completely self contained, runs without a user interface and does not require external components or barcode fonts.
