SUBMISSION: ListMaker.sense -- an application for searching AreaCode and other lists
A recent posting on the net asked whether anyone were updating the list of area codes in the AreaCode application which is found at the ftp sites. I had looked at the old AreaCode application myself several months ago, and noticed that it didn't offer any obvious way to update its data. My response was to throw together a generalized replacement application in HyperSense. After a little cleaning up for public consumption, here it is.
About ListMaker:
ListMaker is a tool for creating and searching lists of items. It includes a list of Area Codes and International telephone dialing codes. This list can be quickly searched by name or number. For example, enter 716 in the search field, and it will identify Western New York and Zimbabwe. Or, type "colo" and you will be presented with the three area codes for Colorado.
ListMaker is also useful for creating other kinds of lists, such as personal phone lists, to-do lists, idea lists, organization lists, email lists, lists of your favorite URLs, etc. Lists can be edited at any time. A button is also provided to sort a list. If there are other features you'd like to see in this application, let me know (or add them yourself, if you have HyperSense).
Note on Area Codes / Call for Help:
** The list of Area Codes included with ListMaker was derived from the one in the old AreaCode application. I've added a few newer area codes that I know about (such as our new one here in Colorado), but many other newer area codes are missing. If you know of additions or corrections to the list, please send them to me so they can be included in updates for everyone's benefit. Thanks. **
Where to Get It:
To run ListMaker you will need either HyperSense or the HyperSensePlayer application. Both ListMaker.sense and the HyperSensePlayer package (including a Free single-user license and many other useful documents) are available by anonymous ftp in the submissions directory at next-ftp.peak.org. They should migrate soon to the HyperSense directory there:
HyperSense is Thoughtful Software's powerful multimedia authoring system for NEXTSTEP. Use HyperSense to quickly create your own documents and applications, or modify other HyperSense documents such as ListMaker. The object-based SenseTalk scripting language empowers documents with fully interactive capabilities through an intuitive English-like language that is easily mastered. An unlicensed copy of HyperSense (which may be used in demo mode) can be found at the same ftp site.
If you do not have ftp access, the HyperSensePlayer and ListMaker are available on disk directly from Thoughtful Software for $10, to cover shipping and duplication costs. MasterCard and Visa are accepted.
For more information on HyperSense, HyperSensePlayer, ListMaker.sense or other HyperSense documents which are available, contact Thoughtful Software at info@thoughtful.com or 970-221-4596.
