NAME

prog41bar - convert a HP-41 program raw file into an intermediate barcode file

SYNOPSIS

lifutils prog41bar [-r] INPUTFILE > Output file

lifutils prog41bar [-r] < Input file > Output file

lifutils prog41bar -?

DESCRIPTION

prog41bar is a program that reads a HP-41 program raw file from standard input or the file specified by the parameter INPUTFILE and writes the corresponding intermediate barcode file to standard output.

The output of prog41bar can be piped to a suitable barcode printing program such as barps

OPTIONS

-r

Skip an existing LIF header of the input file. This is mandatory, if the input file is a LIF instead of a raw file.

-?

Print a message giving the program usage to standard error.

REFERENCES

The format of HP41 barcode is given in the book Creating your own HP41 Barcode (Hewlett-Packard)

The format of the intermediate barcode file written by sdatabar is given in barcode(5)

EXAMPLES

If prog1.raw is a HP-41 program raw file and postscript is a postscript printer then

lifutils prog41bar < prog1.raw | lifutils barps ’Program 1’ | lpr -P postscript

will print that file as HP-41 barcode on the postscript printer.
