The NPA system consists of the following files:
npa.exe - The NPA program itself.
npa.doc - Documentation for NPA (please, at least
peruse this doc file).
brand.exe - Do-it-yourself registration utility.
brand.doc - Documentation for brand.
readme!!.now - heh heh, you guessed it.
npa_data.exe - Self-extracting ZIP file containing
NPA database and online help files.
intl - Listing of international dialing codes.
summary.npa - Listing of US and Canadian area codes sorted
by both area code and state/province.
You MUST decompress the data base files contained in NPA_DATA.EXE
before NPA will work!
It is recommended that you create a separate subdirectory for the database
files, change to the new subdirectory, then run the self-extracting
'npa_data.exe' from inside that subdirectory. There are many files that
comprise the database. It's not absolutely necessary to contain the
database in it's own directory, but it sure is a lot neater!
The environment variable 'npa_data' can be used to instruct NPA where to
look for the data base no matter what drive or directory is current. ie:
Suppose you elect to place the data in the directory C:\NPA, then you'd
add the following line to your autoexec.bat file:
set npa_data=c:\npa
Of course, the NPA executable itself must reside in a directory that's on
the path in order to be located - but the data can go anywhere if you use
the 'npa_data' environment variable. There's more detail on this in the
documentation file NPA.DOC.
