The database of area codes and cities is useful, though somewhat inaccurate, but people who haven't noticed should realize that "grep" makes a great tool for searching it -- you don't need a special program to look up area codes. (If your system has C but not "grep": there are public domain grep's around. Mod.sources has one from James Woods.) -- John Gilmore {sun,ptsfa,lll-crg,ihnp4}!hoptoad!gnu jgilmore@lll-crg.arpa "I can't think of a better way for the War Dept to spend money than to subsidize the education of teenage system hackers by creating the Arpanet."

Doing it this way is not quite as fast as having a program which embodies the data, but it makes the data easier to update, and it consumes less disk space. I don't know if look is generally available; it's a binary-search program available on at least BSD Unix systems. If you want to try it, define the following alias: alias areacode 'look "\!:1 " AreaCodes' and extract the file in the following shell archive. (The reason for matching the space following the number is so that we don't get matches for partial numbers, e.g., "21" would otherwise match several area codes). - Mike Schwartz University of Washington Computer Science Department ihnp4!uw-beaver!schwartz (UUCP) schwartz@wally.cs.washington.edu (ARPANET) schwartz%wally.cs.washington.edu@csnet-relay.arpa (CSNET) #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive, meaning: # 1.

True, but not everybody has Unix. I run my program on a CP/M system and I suspect there are many who will run theirs on a portable computer. In any case, extracting the data is trivial for Unixers. Ken

Is the database of cities and area codes in the public domain,
or at least available for non-profit usage? Also, does
anyone know of a database of either cities or area codes to
time zones?
Thanks.

If you're an AT&T entity registerd with Action Central, a grep on the Dialcodes file will work just as niceley. -- Mikel Manitius @ AT&T-IS mikel@codas.ATT.COM.UUCP

The area code for Orlando & area will change from 305 to 407 by 1988, area code 305 will then be only for Miami & southern Florida. -- Mikel Manitius @ AT&T-IS mikel@codas.ATT.COM.UUCP
