Depending on your environment you can either use GNU barcode:
http://www.gnu.org/directory/barcode.html
or write your own routines. If you just need numbers there is an easy
code named 2 of 5 interleaved. You can find a description of the various
coding systems at:
http://www.barcode-1.net/pub/russadam/info.html#Specs
But I definitely recommend using code 128, because it can hold any type
of character and has a check digit calculation included avoiding reading
errors (in contrary to the above mentioned code). But implementation is
more difficult.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Oliver
