The database of area codes and cities is useful, though
somewhat inaccurate, but people who haven't noticed should
realize that "grep" makes a great tool for searching it --
you don't need a special program to look up area codes.
(If your system has C but not "grep": there are public
domain grep's around.  Mod.sources has one from James Woods.)
