I sugest as an alternative the bookland.py program found at: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland It provides the optional price code add-on. The current Scribus program doesn't. bookland.py runs standalone but someone cleverer than I could probably tie it to Scribus. It will generate from either 10 digit format or 13 digit format and will calculate the check digit. I can enter: bookland 978-1.60019-001-* >test.ps and get a 2007 style barcode and human-readable legend on top. Or I can enter bookland 978-1.60019-001-* 51995 >test2.ps and get the same bar code but with the price extension and associated bar code. The resultant eps file can be imported into Scribus and placed like any other graphic. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
