New in Ver 1.34: Searches (non-fuzzy) are now 20-35% faster!
Find Area Code (FAC) is a TSR-capable MSDOS utility which can quickly
locate U.S. and international telephone area codes. FAC performs its
search using any part of an area code, city, state, or country and shows
matches almost instantly. FAC also has a very powerful "fuzzy search"
mode which allows you to use sound-alike spellings. FAC uses a data
file which you can modify in any way.
FAC can run from the MSDOS command line or you can make it go memory
resident (TSR). When you install FAC as TSR, you can choose between a
7K RAM swapping version, or you can have an instantly available popup
which requires more memory.
