Does anyone out there have the source for a C program (or possibly an
awk script) to take a given seven-letter string and map it to its
corresponding seven-digit sequence using a standard telephone keypad
mapping?

Also, how about the other way round - given a telephone number,
generate from it all combinations of keypad-derivable seven-letter
strings?

(I'm tired of looking at my phone every time I want to do the
translation - and too lazy to spend the few minutes it would take to
write it!)
