I just downloaded the current binaries of Barcode 0.98 (barcode.exe, barcode.dll) and its dependency (libpaper1.dll) and extracted those into one directory C:\barcode. When I enter "barcode -h" on the command line, the help info is shown properly. However, when I enter a simple command like "barcode -b 1234567", barcode.exe crashes with an error "The command in 0x78001d0b points to memory in 0x00000000. The task 'read' could not be performed on the memory." This is reproducible on two different machines running Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Server 2003 Standard, so I think it might be reproducible on other systems, too.
Any ideas?

The same command works correctly on an XP-SP2 system, so I cannot figure out what goes wrong. Anyway, I'll prepare new releases for barcode and libpaper; I hope they work also on 2000 and 2003.

I've eliminated the use of libgw32c for replacements of certain functions from msvcrt.dll, notable the stat functions. This results in less dependence on kernel32.dll and more on msvcrt.dll.

Cool! When will that release be available? I think I'll just wait for that release and if it still doesn't work I'll try to compile it myself.
Thanks again.

A recompiled barcode is available from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
I hope this works also on Win2000 and Win2003.
Thanks! Casual testing shows it works now! Going to make more tests next week...
Just for reference, what did you change in this version? I also notice that executable and dll sizes are now significantly smaller...
