Well - it depends. Printing barcodes on a delivery note or a freight
note is the work of Ada programs (packages) (in our WMS) printing it to
a graphic document - which usually is a postscript or pdf document.
And the barcodes are indeed generated from the Ada program.
Interpreting barcodes - like GS1 - is the reverse of printing it.
And we do that too.
I am to ask if we can release those packages as GPL.
I'm not holding my breath - but I'll try to make it happen.
Eventhough you dissaprove of the API, Jacob ;-)
