[TriLUG] Delivery Point Bar Code software

[Brian Henning]

Hi y'all,
   Does anyone have any experience with f/oss DPBC software?  $work 
wants to start putting the bar codes on our advertising flyers so we can 
qualify for automation rates with the post office...but I'm assuming 
$boss isn't going to want to spend $1200 on DPBC software.

Running on Windows is a necessary evil in this case; our flyer printing 
is done in Publisher (which doesn't appear to have automatic DPBC, 
unlike Word, unfortunately).  Operating on data in Excel format is 
optimal, CSV is acceptable.  Running in Cygwin is also an acceptable 
solution if Windows-native code isn't available.

Obviously if it requires buying something, then we'll either buy 
something or continue to pay the higher postal rate.  And of course I am 
googling this as well, but I thought I'd check to see if there were 
anyone who already knew of such a beast.

Thanks greatly,
~Brian
