October 1, 1994 -- SEATTLE -- Azalea Software, Inc. has just published
BARCODES.FAQ ver 1.3 online on both the Internet and CompuServe.
BARCODES.FAQ is a comprehensive overview of bar codes and optical
character recognition (OCR) technology.

FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) are published periodically on the
Internet and other online services as a way to answer common questions,
thus eliminating the need to answer the same questions one at a time.
FAQ's are archived in special sections of the Internet and are also sought
out by interested individuals.

"I originally published BARCODES.FAQ as a quick way to respond to the
steady stream of inquiries I saw on the Net requesting beginning and
intermediate information on bar codes." says Jerry Whiting, President of
Azalea Software. "The response to this FAQ was so overwhelming that I've
committed myself to enlarging and expanding it on a regular basis. At one
point we were getting 15 requests a day for it by email and phone."

Azalea's BARCODES.FAQ is free and covers the fundamentals of UPC, EAN, JAN,
Bookland, Code 39, and other bar code symbologies, as well as OCR fonts.

With the release of BARCODES.FAQ ver 1.3, Azalea Software is now offering
it in both Adobe Acrobat and WinHelp formats. The use of non-text formats
like Adobe Acrobat allows Azalea Software to include graphics and
hypertext links on computers running Microsoft Windows and on the
Macintosh. Graphics are generally not possible when distributing straight
ASCII text files, as is the case with most FAQ's.

BARCODES.FAQ ver 1.3 can be obtained by contacting Azalea Software at
azalea@igc.org on the Internet or 726267,746 on CompuServe. Disk or
printed copies of the FAQ, or the FAQ in Acrobat or WinHelp format can be
obtained by contacting Azalea Software at 206 932.4030 or 206 937.5919
FAX.
