    Regarding you standards document. Funny thing. The code sections showed a font named 'Letter Gothic MT'. My machine with Office 2k7 displayed it as a 3 of 9 barcode...

    So, what you're saying is that "first column pain" is less than "last column pain"? Because all the columns in between are handled exactly the same in either case.
