Thanks for the insight. I have found a few products that include the functions for Crystal mush as the ones you created yourself. My client has verifiers to check the codes once they are printed - they already print their own labels but with the software they use it is extremely cumbersome, thus it is my job to create a simpler to understand system that produces the same output. Output is highly controlled as all printers are special label printers all from the same manufacturer and of the same model. If I can't find anything commercial I may well take you up on the offer to work out some sort of purchase or license of your software. Thanks.
