2 Product updates

 

dLSoft has updated many products to provide the following additional features:

 

Products supporting Codabar barcodes now provide the option of using the AIM (Mod 16) check digit as an alternative to the commonly used Mod 10 check digit.

 

Products supporting Code 128 now provide code types for Code 128 subtype A and Code 128 subtype B without requiring control codes to be inserted into the barcode data.

 

Products supporting UPC-E now provide support for number system 1 in addition to the established number system 0. Additional code types allow UPC-E0 and UPC-E1 symbols to be generated from UPC-A data.

 

Products that maintain initialisation data have been updated to operate under Standard User credentials with the Windows Vista UAC mechanism.

 

The above effects the many of our our products, but to avoid including a long list here please refer to our current versions list. Any product with a date of 20 December 2006 or later has been updated.
