[nos-bbs] White Pages again ...

[N0MR]

Maiko,

The packet people in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and northern Michigan use world 
wide hierarchical addressing extensively. A white pages routine in JNOS 
would be a big help for our local group. Features as Bill described 
yesterday are what we need. I already receive the white pages bulletins and 
just need a routine to accept the address and use them when mail is 
addressed.

Jerry, N0MR
