create a cover template by filling out the requested data. Don't worry about all the input they want being correct. All you want at this point is the bar code.
give LSI your email address and they will send you a PDF file with the template.
open file with Adobe Reader and make a screen shot of the template
copy the screen shot into a graphics program
crop the bar code
enlarge the bar code
save and export as a GIF file
you've got it. Contact me if any problems.
There's probably something easier on the Internet but I haven't found it yet. Some graphics programs will generate bar codes.
