- What's New In This Version
- ZIPKEY is already a big success since its initial release
- this past spring. I have not only gotten a large number of
- registrations, but also some useful feature-requests and
- problem reports. In this version I have added a
- much-requested feature: the the ability to uninstall ZIPKEY
- without rebooting the machine. I have also gotten ZIPKEY to
- work with a variety of programs with which V1.0 had
- problems: Microsoft Word 4.0, Lotus 123, FANSI-CONSOLE on an
- EGA, Desqview, Quarterdeck's LOADHI loader, graphics
- programs, and programs and device drivers that call DOS in
- the background. That last category reflects a serious bug
- in MS-DOS, (not ZIPKEY!) whose symptom was the intermittent
- crashing of the computer, every dozen or so zipcode lookups.
- This version works its way around this MS-DOS bug.
-
- ZIPKEY is a complete city-level directory of 5-digit United
- States zipcodes, combined with a keyboard enhancement
- program. The goal of ZIPKEY is to provide enough power and
- flexibility so that no one with an IBM-PC (or
- hardware-compatible computer) will ever again have to
- manually type in the name of a United States city or town
- (at least not one big enough to have its own zipcode).
-
- When run as an ordinary program, ZIPKEY allows you to
- instantly access any of the 43000+ zipcodes in the
- directory, searching by zipcode, state-and-city, or
- city-only. If you want to use ZIPKEY just to occasionally
- look up a zipcode, you simply choose main-menu option 2 and
- follow the prompts.
-
- ZIPKEY achieves its full power when installed permanently in
- memory. In this "memory-resident" mode, you can invoke
- ZIPKEY from within any other program (a word processor, a
- data-base manager, etc.). You can type just a 5-digit
- zipcode, and ZIPKEY will fool the program you're running
- into thinking that you have typed any or all of the
- following: the city name, the state name and/or
- abbreviation, the zipcode, and any other combination of
- fixed keystrokes. This "keystroke output" can be in any
- format that you wish.
