Re: Newbe question on installing and using barcode application

Dear  Jeremias,
Thanks for your help. I would definitely like to give
it a try. I have actually downloaded the binary file
and so do have the jar file. 
I tried to look through the documentation and so not
sure where to go from here. Now that I have all this
set how do I generate barcode?
Supposing I will be using this through command line
once I am in the barcode directory how do I proceed.
I am not very familiar with Java so hope you can help
me get this working. What command should I execute so
as to generate barcode?
Awaiting your reply. Once again thanking you for your
kind help.
Regards,
Abhi
