Do you hate searching that old tattered Xerox'd phone list?
Add: $FONE :==SEARCH ATARI$PHONE:PHONE1.LIS
to your LOGIN.COM file and you can access the REAL ATARI PHONE LIST!
If you don't know how to edit your LOGIN.COM file you can just type:
@ATARI$PHONE:FONE
and FONE will be installed for you.
You can search for a name (or number) REAL fast. It's current as of
6:30AM every morning. All you have to do is type:
FONE name1[,name2,...]
where name1 is the name or number your looking for. First names, last
names, phone extensions, anything will do. You can search for as many names
as you like at once by separating each name (or number) with a comma. You
can display ALL the local extensions by searching for our phone number
prefix, 434.
examples: $ FONE JOHN
$ FONE 434
$ FONE SMITH,3700
$ FONE JAMES,JOHN,LYDIA
Upper case/Lower case doesn't matter, and you can use any standard DCL
SEARCH qualifiers including:
/LOG will tell you how many matches it found
/OUTPUT=file-spec will put the results into a file
/REMAINING will list all the names starting at NAME1
/MATCH=AND will only find a record that matches all
the names/numbers that you specify
(ex: FONE/MATCH=AND JANE,DOE)
If you do like old Xerox'd phone lists, you can get those too, in several
formats. The following files are updated daily and may be copied to a
suitable printer.
ATARI$PHONE:PHONE.LIS (names & numbers in 3 columns, 132 columns wide)
ATARI$PHONE:PHONE1.LIS (names,numbers,mail stop & Email address
in one column, 80 columns wide)
ATARI$PHONE:PHONE4.LIS (names & numbers in 4 columns, 158 columns wide)
