Re: GUI address tool

[John Simmons <John.Simmons@Eng>]

Also check out 
http://strannik.eng/webshell/
(click on the "name lookup" icon).

This simply uses perl's grep directly on the names database, opening it as a 
file handle, e.g.:

open (NAME, "< /usr/dist/share/lib/nameslist");

And has anyone used the "addresses" program that comes with the latest version 
of pilot-link?.  It should be pretty easy to write a script which can do name 
lookups - ready the output for the pilot-link tool, and then load the entries 
into the pilot (e.g. look up your dept. number, and then have everyone in your 
department in your pilot database.

The other idea I have is this: a web based pim that accesses the pilot-link 
tools, and the networking sync function, and then you can access your pim and 
sync your pilot to your own desktop from any machine on the net.  Not that I 
necessarily have time to do this ;-).
