# Debra's List Story When I got my Palm III, I immediately started trolling the web for neat stuff to put on it. On my mac, I've always had a little app which tells me in which state a given telephone area code resides. (That's useful in deciding whether to buy something from a person at phone number XYZ.) There is a database with this information for "other" Pilot database programs; I wanted one for the LIST database, too. (I'm enthralled by LIST's simplicity -- and low cost!) So I hunted around for data -- I found a web site with postal zip codes (cited in the readme) and somewhere I found a screen of data about telephone codes (don't recall where). After manual manipulation, these were turned into simple text files. Then I used Andrew's db creation code to turn my text files into LIST database. (I did it on a PC, though I'd have preferred to use my mac!) I've also created for myself a database of books that I own (once I've decided that I like the author and might buy more) and another database of birth or anniversary dates MMDD and names, to remind me when I need to send cards to people! Aside from my address book, most of my database needs are really only lists -- two fields, a category, and a comment field into which I can lump everything else. So LIST is perfect for me! (Did I mention that I like the price, too?? ;-) Deb Baddorf
