Previously only available through AT&T's Customer Info Center, the
AreaCODE&TIMEfinder** HyperCard stack is now being uploaded as
shareware to Bulletin Boards worldwide starting with SMUGgler's BBS
     The AC&TF will allow you to find the Area Code and current time
for more than 6,000 U.S cities with direct dialing access;  most
Canadian cities with direct dialing access and virtually all Ontario
and Quebec cities; and more than 1,400 foreign cities from nearly 60
countries accessible by direct dialing,
Besides giving the actual ''time THERE*'' (a lot easier than trying to
figure out Greenwich Mean Time differences), the stack automatically
adjusts in and out of Daylight Savings Time world-wide.  We're not the
only country that plays with the clock and sun!  
AT&T had previously offered the Macintosh stack,  but advertised it
almost exclusively to DOS users! From the predictable less than
enthusiastic response, they believed the program had too limited an
appeal for them to pursue it.
Recently SMUG member Kevin Savetz added some needed touches to the
stack  so that users would be encouraged to pay the shareware fee of
$15. Hopefully, a 1994 update can be created with a bit of black ink
instead of the usual shocking red. 
The stack was initially developed by Oliver Johnson (with a lot of help
from his son, Dave!) and is considered to be the most accurate, most
helpful, and most inclusive area code stack available.  
If SMUG members would like to have the stack, it will be mailed to them
on disk for $15 - the shareware fee.  ($19.95+S&H from AT&T.) Contact
