AreaCodeFinder
By Scott Timberlake
Version 1.0
This simple utility was written for one simple reason. I received a long
list of BBS phone numbers, and I wanted to know where each of them were
before I called. So I simply opened the phone book and started looking them
up. It was then that I discovered that the area codes are in no order
whatsoever, and this made it difficult and time consuming to do. So I
decided to write a program to do it for me, since this is the kind of thing
they are best at.
Using the program is extremely simple. Just type in the area code of the
number in question, and the program will give you the approximate area of
the state for that area. Now before anyone gets upset and says that the
program is not exactly correct, I will tell you that the descriptions that
the program gives you were written by me. They are meant to be fairly
accurate but not precise to the inch. So if I say that 213 is Southwest
California and it could also be considered to be just Southern California,
don't have a cow. It's close enough for government work.
Before you run the program you must copy the Bas_runtime.library to the
Libs: directory on your Workbench disk. The program itself can be placed
anywhere and is only 5.7k long. It was written on an Amiga 1000 w/2 Megs.
It has not been tested on either an A500 or A2000, but I would not expect
any problems. If there are, let me know.
