          I would like to thank all the people who have encouraged
          revisions and supplied corrections for the data contained in this
          program.  It is impossible for me to verify all the area codes
          and city locations so if you find an error please notify me. This
          program is only as good as it is because others have taken the
          time to let me know what was incorrect.

          This isn't a users manual since the program is easy to use and
          contains built in help routines.  Simply enter INFO or HELP at
          the main prompt and read the information presented there.  These
          help screens are not available if Area Code Locator has been
          loaded as an accessory.  This is an attempt to conserve the use
          of RAM as much as possible.
