The files in this directory are in GIF format. They are areacode maps of the USA/Canada. If you intend to pull the files, you need to have 'binary' set on so that the file does not get mashed in transit. Then before doing anything, look at the file. There are actually three parts, they need to unzipped first and then used in .gif format. You will have to separate them by the three files enclosed in each file here first, edit out the headers and other garbage lines, then decode them, etc. After reviewing the files, please let me know what you think about it. I may put more gif files in the archives if there is interest in them. PAT
