ZIPKEY v1.07e Eric Isaacson. REGISTRATION $30.00
ZIPCODE MAIL ENVELOPE ISAACSON ZIPKEY
Update
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.
