I added some additional scaling functionality for barcodes: https://gist.github.com/alethea/3e409b0b1206099bee88eefac7fa7cbd

I added a Python version of the Zebra ZPL Rescaler at https://github.com/deexno/Zebra-ZPL-rescaler.

I've made the input more user-friendly, allowing the user to convert their ZPL file from any resolution to any other resolution without touching the code.
