- If you improve this (simple) program, please let me know!
-
- The idea for this program was inspired by Bill Beogelein's "AreaCode"
- program on Fish Disk 40. Bill's program unfortunately crashes on my
- A3000 under 2.04.
-
- Put the file "AreaCode.txt" in a directory somewhere.
-
- Then change the definition of LIBFILE in AreaCode.rexx to match
- the location. For example, if you put AreaCode.txt in your S: directory,
- the line should be
-
- LIBFILE = "S:AreaCode.txt"
-
- Then put AreaCode.rexx in your REXX: directory.
-
- Now type "areacode" and you will see the usage instructions. Some
- examples:
-
- areacode 413 Where is 413?
- areacode pa All areacodes in PA (Pennsylvania)
-
- The database AreaCode.txt is in a very simple format; the fields are
- separated by single TAB characters. You can read it with "more" or
- your favorite text editor -- it is plain text.
