Printing Intelligent Bar codes

[Nancy Palmquist]

Bob,

It was definitely a problem.  I found it and it still did not work.

I looked at the hex of their sample file and the hex of my file and it 
did not work until I put my font code on the previous line.

Not sure why that made it work but it did.

Good eye spotting the difference.  I looked at it a hundred times and 
did not see that.

Well I am still looking for the rest of the bundle but it is a weird 
method they worked out at USPS.

Nancy
