CELLINFO.EXE - What is it???
I know that you are a scanner freak or you wouldn't have downloaded a
file like this. CELLINFO.EXE is a utility, offered to the public domain, to
provide the user with vital information about the cellular telephone that he
would happen to be listening to at any given moment- provided that your scan-
ning radio is capable of recieving that type of stuff. This program is NOT a
TSR- at least not in this primitive version. When called upon, this program
executes and waits for input of the cell-transmit frequency of the call that
you are listening to. The program then provides the following information:
Cellular Band (A or B)
Receive Frequency
Global Cellular Number
Cell Network Number
Cell Channel
The program then waits for input again. If you are through, then just
press <return> and the program terminates.
DUHH... How useful is CELLINFO???
"What can I do with this kind of information?", you may ask. Well, if
you were a real scanner freak, you could use this data to map out all of the
cellular telephone towers in your area and later use this information to
instantly know where somebody is when you hear them!!! Pretty neato misquito
stuff coming from a free program!
Legal Junk and Social/Moral Ethics:
Yeah, I know that listening to Cellular Telephone conversions could get
you busted if you were to get caught. I also can understand that is ethically
and (for the most part) socially unacceptable to participate in this type of
activity. This utility is for educational purposes only.
Programming Techno-Gibberish:
Rather than having a database of the frequency table for the U.S.
Cellular Telephone Standard, I chose to use simple mathematics and boolean
logic to supply the output for the program- which helps to decrease the size of
the EXE file. The original code was written in BASIC and then compiled into an
EXEcutable, but I know that the finished program would have been somewhat
smaller had I written it in a higher language, but I'm too lazy...
Compliments? Kudos? Complaints?
If you have ANYTHING to say to us about this program- good, bad or
otherwise, then you can write, call or write us E-Mail on most Charlotte-area
BBS's...
