Area Code Locator
for the Atari ST/Mega computer
copyright 1990 DO NOT STAMP (tm) Software
This program may be freely distributed but never sold.
All commercial rights reserved
I would like to thank all the people who have encouraged
revisions and supplied corrections for the data contained in this
program. It is impossible for me to verify all the area codes
and city locations so if you find an error please notify me. This
program is only as good as it is because others have taken the
time to let me know what was incorrect.
This isn't a users manual since the program is easy to use and
contains built in help routines. Simply enter INFO or HELP at
the main prompt and read the information presented there. These
help screens are not available if Area Code Locator has been
loaded as an accessory. This is an attempt to conserve the use
of RAM as much as possible.
