- Here at Birmingham University we have the Telephone Directory on our CIS.
- You can select all the numbers associated with a Department using the GET
- command. having got this you can then select a name using the GET command.
- Thus you can get sub-sets (of sub-sets etc) and either browse or email
- yourself a copy. Thus you can get a Departmental Telephone Directory.
- Only one slight snag; you have to establish the way in which your department
- is shown. Long names get chopped about a bit (tho it's consistent throughout)
- in a way which isn't entirely obvious.
