The production of charmed D/sup */ mesons in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilations at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV has been studied using the time-projection-chamber (TPC) detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The production cross section, fragmentation function, and forward-backward asymmetry due to electroweak effects are measured, and a limit on D/sup 0/-D-bar/sup 0/ mixing is determined.
