Does anyone know of a shareware database program that can supply postal zip code and telephone area code if given the city? How about the opposite? Thanks. --Dwaine

How about the opposite? This looks like a good opportunity to advertize my SIMTEL20 index server. If you had sent the command lookup (/zip/i||/area/i)&&/code/i to the server, you'd have received the reply: Directory PD1:<MSDOS.ADA> NAPP.ZIP B 224000 890829 NASA Ada source code reformatter Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DATABASE> ZK0789.ARC B 122037 900120 Zipcode lookup, v1.07, data, 7/89, 2 of 2 ZK107.ARC B 104295 900120 Zipcode lookup, v1.07, prog & doc, 1 of 2 Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DESKACCESS> AREAFON3.ZIP B 24013 900402 AREAFON 3.02/Areacodes/Foreign Dial/Citynames Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> UUEXE401.ZIP B 26715 900315 R.E.Marks' UUdecode/UUencode/XXdecode/XXencode Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FREEMACS> CONTRIB.ZIP B 15187 900328 Contributed MINT code for FreEMACS 1.6a editor Directory PD1:<MSDOS.STARTER> DEZIP20.UUE A 23381 891223 uuencoded DEZIP20.COM (ZIP archive extractor) Directory PD1:<MSDOS.ZIP> ANSIKL10.ARC B 13244 890625 Remove ANSI codes from comments in ZIP files And the fourth through eighth lines seem to be the programs that you are looking for. To obtain a copy of the instructions, send email with the subject "Command" and with the body consisting of the single word "help" (no quotation marks) to either raymond@math.berkeley.edu (west coast USA) or rjc@math.princeton.edu (east coast USA) Choose the site that's closer to you. You should receive a copy of the instructions within a few hours. I repeat: The subject of the mail must be the word "Command", that's a capital C, a lowercase "ommand", no quotation marks, no "Re:" in front, and it has to be the SUBJECT of your mail. If you fail to follow these instructions, you will probably get a piece of nasty mail from me, so consider yourself warned. -- raymond@math.berkeley.edu Maintainer of the csip Frequently Asked Questions

And there is a file AREAFON3.ZIP in PD1:<msdos.deskaccess> in SIMTEL that appears to be a AREA code finder. I am currently awaiting arrival of AREAFON3 so I can compare it to a hack-job areacode finder that I already have. I'm not certain where ZIPKEY is available, but it is written by Eric Isaacson (416 E University Ave; Bloomington, IN 47401; 812-339-1811). >--Dwaine -- George ...!uunet!uw-beaver!sumax!polari!georgf
