                      2: .SH NAME
                      3: laserbar \- produce bar codes on a PostScript laser printer
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: .B laserbar
                      6: [\fB-r\fP rotate] [\fB-x\fP xoffset] [\fB-y\fP yoffset]
                      7: [\fB-X\fP xscale] [\fB-Y\fP yscale] [\fB-lns\fP] string
                      8: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      9: .I Laserbar
                     10: prints on the standard output the PostScript text that will produce
                     11: (on a suitable laser printer) the \s-2CODE-39\s+2 bar code
                     12: corresponding to
                     13: .I string.
                     14: The \fBr\fP option may be used to specify a rotation (in
                     15: degrees) of the bar code.
                     16: The \fBx\fP, \fBy\fP, \fBX\fP, and \fBY\fP options may be used to specify
                     17: an x- or y-axis offset (in inches) or scaling factor, respectively.
                     18: (The offset is measured from the lower left corner of the page
                     19: to the upper left corner of the bar
                     20: code.  By default, the bar code produced is one inch high, and is scaled
                     21: so that the narrowest elements are each 1/72-inch \- i.e., one point \- wide.)
                     22: If the \fBl\fP option is specified, the bar code produced is labeled.
                     23: If the \fBn\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text
                     24: includes a leading \f(CWnewpath\fP command, so that the text may stand
                     25: alone or precede any other PostScript commands.
                     26: If the \fBs\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text includes 
                     27: a trailing \f(CWshowpage\fP command, so that the text may stand alone
                     28: or follow any other PostScript commands.
                     29: .P
