Bernie Eiben has just released the CP/M-80 version of PHONE.  PHONE
allows You to search a "flat" ASCII-file for any string and prints out
the line containing the string and any line following the target-line,
which starts with "white-space". The original MSDOS-version was
written using LATTICE-C, the CPM-version was changed for AZTEC-C
[slight C-language differences plus changes in default-file searching
for both micro-systems and the DOC-file].

PHONE uses SOUNDEX-techniques to "catch" possible mis-spelling and
supports ? for wild-character match and * for any-string match. Aside
from a "easy going" telephone "memory" any other "string-based
reminders" can be build using any editor since PHONE allows to change
the text-file-name on the command-line.

Bernie says: "PHONE was originally written by Martin Minow and ...
(see DOC-file) - so they deserve the announcement credit."

The files are available on SIMTEL20 as:
