I uploaded a new version of pst-barcode.tgz to the uk mirror.
please replace all files with the existing ones in /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-barcode/
The pst-barcode package allows printing of barcodes. Possible barcodes are: EAN-13 -- EAN-8 -- UPC-A -- UPC-E -- EAN-5 -- EAN-2 -- ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 -- Code-39 -- Code-128 and UCC/EAN-128 -- Rationalized Codabar -- Interleaved 2 of 5 and ITF-14 -- Code 2 of 5 -- Postnet -- Royal Mail -- Kix (Customer index) - Dutch Mail -- Australian postal service -- onecode -- Symbol -- MSI -- Plessey -- Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) -- rss14 -- rsslimited -- rssexpanded
i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue.
thanks for the upload

----- pst-barcode.pro 2006-03-04 - An encoder for the Reduced Space Symbology RSS Expanded was added. - The incorrect definition of the USPS FIM-B symbol was fixed. - An encoder for the Reduced Space Symbology RSS Limited was added. The efficiency of RSS-14 was improved. - An encoder for the new OneCode symbology used by the US Postal Service was added. - The FIM symbols now render according to their specification. - The Postnet, Royal Mail, AusPost and KIX encoders were amended so that the metrics of their default symbols confirms strongly to their respective specifications. - The encoders now pass an array containing the widths of the bar space succession to the renderer allowing for sub-point horizontal precision. - The default border positions for EAN and UPC symbols were amended to properly enclose the human readable text. - The colour support code was fixed to prevent overwriting of the current colour when values are left unspecified. - The logic to guard whitespace in EAN symbols was migrated from the encoders to the renderer. - The whitespace guard symbols are now drawn directly making them independant of any font. - The inter-guard bar height of EANs and UPCs was amended. - The renderer was amended to support the passing of encoder specific arguments. - The options barcolor, textcolor, bordercolor, showbackground and backgroundcolor were added to the renderer. - A flaw in the derivation of the top border height was fixed. - add support for the new ISBN-13 - printing the code from the current point - The performance of the renderer was improved by avoiding unnecessary calls of setfont - The auspost encoder was extended to support the customer information field.
