Re: GUI address tool

This may be somewhat related and useful for Sun
employees (~50% of this alias).

Check out http://four11.east and click the "pilot"
icon. It's a Perl script I wrote that produces a
clean and consistent comma separated listing of
selectable portions of the nameslist database -
ready for importing to the Pilot or any other PDA.
It's nothing as fancy as you describe below, but once
a month or so I take a couple minutes to generate and
refresh the 800+ entries for every Sun employee in the
SouthEastern US. For example, here is my entry in
the Pilot addressbook as autogenerated from the
script:

  Dave Brillhart
  Work:   (407)384-4644
  Other:  24644
  E-mail: Dave.Brillhart@East
  ORL

I ran it for UPAL01 and UPAL02 and came up with another
800+ employees in the Palo Alto area.

It actually uses the output of "namex". If you know
how to query the nameslist DB directly, please send
me a note. Thanks!!
