NOTE:
The Find Area Code (FAC) distribution file is now created using
PKZip's Authenticity Verification (AV) feature. This guarantees BBSs
and users virus-free, unmodified files. If after unzipping your
distribution files you don't see the message:
Authentic files Verified! # EOA070 MICHAEL K. MOLLOY
you've received a modified distribution files. Get another copy of
the file from a different vendor, BBS, or from CompuServe.
======================================================================
Find Area Code (FAC) is a TSR-capable MSDOS program which can quickly
search for and display U.S. and international telephone area codes or
other custom information entered by the user. FAC performs its search
using any part of an area code, city, state, country or other string,
and shows matches almost instantly. FAC also has a very powerful
"fuzzy search" mode which allows you to search using sound-alike,
phonetic spellings. The program also shows a continuously updated
date and time display. FAC uses a datafile which you can modify in
any way or it can search a default or user-specified external
datafile. FAC can search as quickly as 800 lines per second on a slow
XT and as much as 4000-5000 lines per second on a fast 386. FAC can
run from the MSDOS command line or you can install it as a memory
resident program (TSR). As a TSR, FAC can operate in as little as 7K
of RAM using disk or expanded (EMS) memory for swapping. FAC
intelligently supports 25, 43, and 50 line video (text) color/mono
modes, sizing and zooming the screen appropriately.
