    Hi Judith,

            Thank you for asking this. I'll be anxious to see the replies.

            Here in the US, we still rely on tags and duplicate tags.
    It's labor intensive, and we need a better way. Maybe a stack of bar
    code tags on each bag. Then, as they get subdivided, the new tags
    could also get subdivided. If one ran out of bar-coded tags, then
    one could copy the code numbers on subsequent tags...

            How do you do it in Australia?

    Best regards,
