Dialling Codes V1.0
Displays UK STD Codes and International Codes
Created Friday 25th March 1994
© 1994 Julian Wright
Freely Distributable
====================
Preface
=======
Have you ever had a phone/BBS number and wondered just where it was
located? Well, using this little utility you can find out just that and
more besides...
Features
========
· Knows all UK STD Codes including BT 'special' codes
· Knows all 1,2 & 3 figure International Dialling Codes (>170 countries)
· Instantaneous display of information required
· Type in code and get location
· Type in location and get code
· Displays time difference for International Codes
· No need to type in full Town/Country name
· Multi-tasking
Usage
=====
Double-click on the icon and you will be presented with a small window.
In this window is a text gadget box into which you can type any of the
following:-
UK STD Dialling Code - Returns the location
UK Town or City - returns the STD Dialling Code
International Dialling Code - Returns the country and time difference
Country - returns the International Dialling Code and time difference
When typing in town/city or country names there is often no need to type
in the whole name. Just type in a few characters of the name and the
program will search through the database for the first occurance of those
characters and display the result.
When requesting the country for a known International Dialling Code
ALWAYS put a plus sign (+) in front of the number to show that it is an
international code you're after.
E.g. Entering +44 would result in Great Britain GMT
Entering +234 would result in Nigeria +1
Most international phone numbers are listed like this anyway,
for example: +44 (0)234 567890
If you get a "Sorry, not found..." message it means that a match for
whatever you entered has not been found therefore no result can be shown.
Reasons include:
· You mis-typed the dialling code or place name
· You forgot the '+' for International Dialling Codes
· The town or city comes under another telephone exchange
· The country's dialling code has more than 3 figures
Over 170 countries codes are known by the program. This includes all
European countries, all major world-wide countries and many smaller
countries too. If you need the code for a really small obscure country then
maybe you'll have to wait a future release! (Or ask the operator!)
Future Enhancements
===================
· Codes for regions of countries esp. U.S.A
· Codes for the smaller countries
· Suggestions?
About the Program
=================
Dialling Codes V1.0 was written by me (Julian Wright) in two evenings
(approx. 5 hours) using Blitz Basic 2 by Acid Software. If anyone wants the
source code for this program (maybe you'd like to add all the other
countries!!) then send a blank disk and return postage and packing to the
address below. No disk, postage or packaging = No reply!!
