                      "Area Code Locator for Windows"
                          Version 2.0 - 11/05/95

     ACLW is a utility designed to allow the quick retrieval of Area
     Code information for the United States and Canada.  If the Area
     Code is specified, the program will return...

          * The State (or Province)
          * Major Cities
          * The Time Zone

     If you know the State but need to find the Area Codes within the
     State, the scroll bar can be used to pan through the sorted
     listing.  If the first letter of the State is pressed, ACLW will
     jump directly to the first entry in the database.  The order in
     which the database is sorted can be changed from the Options
     menu - the choices being by State, Area Code or by City.

     Area Codes can be typed directly into the Area Code text box,
     otherwise a pseudo key pad has been provided for those who
     prefer using the mouse.  To save desktop space, this option can
     be disabled from the Options menu.

     ACLW can also be made to display itself "on top" of other
     windows, so that it is always within view.  Simply check the box
     marked, "Always on top" from the Options menu to activate this
     feature.

     A legend outlining time zone differences can be found under the
     Help menu.

     REQUIREMENTS:  ACLW requires VBRUN200.DLL; the Visual Basic run-
                    time module.  The only other required files are
                    ACLW.EXE and ACLW.DAT - these two files should
                    both reside in the same subdirectory.

     SHAREWARE:     If you use ACLW, please consider registering for
                    $5.  In return you will receive the latest
                    registered version of the program, along with
                    other handy conversion tools, including...
