Firstly, a thank you to Benoit and all involved with the development of
Gambas. I am not a professional programmer (as the following shows!) and
have had to adjust to the inevitable differences between the presentation of
commercial and 'for-the-love-of-it' software. Having said that, I really do
like Gambas: it is my kind of software.

Here is a module to print EAN-13 barcodes from first principles. I wrote it
because I could not get scannable results using the available ttf fonts.

In this demonstration, the barcode module is called by a simple FMain which
will print the resultant barcode on the screen or on a default printer. The
logic comes (as does the meaning of life itself) from Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Article_Number). I have not checked
the array data against the Wikipedia article as well as I should. Please
check. http://www.nabble.com/file/p17303208/barcode-0.0.3.tar.gz
