=====================================================
These files are used with LOCALNUM.EXE version 1.1 and up to
find numbers local to various exchanges in the Annapolis, MD
calling area. LOCALNUM will read a list of phone numbers
from a text file and print all the numbers in that file
that are local calls to you. For instance, you could
run this on Focke's DC area database, or on Blaise's Baltimore
are BBS listing. Try to use the most "text" like file from
those two BBS lists. For instance, use the .DIR files from
Focke's or the BBBL.DAT file from Blaise's. The format to use
LOCALNUM is:
LOCALNUM {switches} textfile {configfile}
The only files to be concerned with from this ZIP file are
the CFG files. The INC files are just included within the
CFG files. They represent groupings of local numbers that
the phone company has established for billing purposes.
Find your exchange (the "xxx" part of your xxx-yyyy phone number)
in the listing below and use that config file. For instance,
if your phone number is 555-1212 and the listing for "555" below
lists ANNAP.CFG as your config file, you can search Blaise's
database with this command:
LOCALNUM BBBL.DAT ANNAP.CFG
Alternately, you can copy ANNAP.CFG to LOCALNUM.CFG and use:
LOCALNUM BBBL.DAT

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
