NAME
        pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code bitmap
 
SYNOPSIS
        pbmupc [-s1|-s2] type manufac product
 
DESCRIPTION
        Generates  a  Universal  Product  Code  symbol.  The three
        arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit man­
        ufacturer  code, and a five digit product code.  For exam­
        ple, "0 72890 00011" is the code for Heineken.
 
        As presently configured, pbmupc produces a bitmap 230 bits
        wide and 175 bits high.  The size can be altered by chang­
        ing the defines at the beginning of  the  program,  or  by
        running the output through pnmenlarge or pnmscale.
 
OPTIONS
        The -s1 and -s2 flags select the style of UPC to generate.
        The default, -s1, looks more or less like this:
         ||||||||||||||||
         ||||||||||||||||
         ||||||||||||||||
         ||||||||||||||||
        0||12345||67890||5
        The other style, -s2, puts the product type  digit  higher
        up, and doesn't display the checksum digit:
         ||||||||||||||||
         ||||||||||||||||
        0||||||||||||||||
         ||||||||||||||||
         ||12345||67890||
