RW1200.DAT file notes:
This datafile contains 1200 cities for the program Roadways PC. If
you live in New Hampshire you will be especially pleased since almost
every town in the state is included. However, be forwarned: the
printout you get will be LONG! I am working on a way to select
major cities or all cities in the printout, but this will probably
have to wait for the next major upgrade of Roadways PC.
To use this datafile with versions of Roadways prior to version
3.0, you will need to rename your current ROADWAYS.DAT, ROADWAYS.CTY
and ROADWAYS.STA files to something else, then copy RW1200.DAT to
your Roadways PC disk. Rename it to ROADWAYS.DAT and start Roadways
PC with the /I switch, like so:
ROADWAYS /I <enter>
This will start Roadways and create the sorted datafiles. Roadways
will then run and present you with a list of 1200 cities to choose
from.
If you have Roadways PC version 3.0 or later, all you need to do is
load Roadways, go to the UTILITY menu, select Defaults and change
the default Datafile from ROADWAYS.DAT (or whatever name you are
currently using) to RW1200.DAT. Then re-start Roadways PC and the
sorted datafiles will be created and Roadways PC will load.
I don't yet know if this stretches memory close to the bounds
or not. If you try this datafile, and you get an out of memory
error, please drop me a line with information about how much memory
your computer has when you type CHKDSK at the DOS prompt.
Many thanks to Mr. George Ricker of Ft. Pierce, Florida for all the
hard work he has put into this datafile. He is also the one re-
sponsible for the other datafile containing 522 cities. Thanks
George!
