What is Pro CD Internet Directory?

Pro CD Internet Directory is an easy-to-use CD-ROM reference tool that gives you instant access to 200,000 registered Internet domain names and addresses provided (World Wide Web and FTP), along with company name, address, city, state/province, ZIP/post code, country, telephone number, SIC code, and registration date information. Pro CD Internet Directory consists of a Pro CD Internet Directory database and Pro CD search software — all on one CD-ROM disc. The software is designed to give you easy access to the data.

The software lets you:

• Access data

• Search the listings even when you have incomplete information

• Export data to other programs

• Print listings in galley and label formats

• Automatically dial a listing's voice phone

• Search off-line to save time and money

• Connect to a selected listing's World Wide Web or FTP site by clicking on an icon

• Search for a list of Web sites categorized by SIC code or business heading


What are the Other Pro CD Products?

Pro CD creates a complete line of easy-to-use CD-ROM reference tools that give you instant access to millions of business and residential listings from directories across the country. The software lets you export the listings to a file, import the listings into another application, and print customized mailing labels. The Pro CD PhoneBooks software allows for wildcard searching, letting you search for a word in a string of words.

The databases that are available with Pro CD PhoneBooks are:

Select Phone Deluxe, Select Phone, Pro CD Fax Book, Canada Phone, Canada Home Phone, Canada Business Phone, Free Phone, Select Phone for Networks, Canada Phone for Networks, Business Phone, Home Phone, and Home and Business Phone.

Select Phone Deluxe contains the six regional Select Phone databases, AT&T Free Phone, plus Business-in-One disc, and a free update. Select Phone is a set of six CD's containing business and residential listings from United States telephone directories. Business listings are categorized  using the Department of Labor's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) index. Therefore, you are able to search listings by business classification. All of the Select Phone fields are optimized for fast searching. Pro CD Fax Book is a single CD that contains published U.S. and Canadian fax numbers. Canada Phone contains listings for both businesses and residences from Canadian telephone directories. The Canadian business listings are also categorized by SIC codes. Canada Home Phone contains residential listings from Canadian telephone directories. Canada Business Phone contains business listings from Canadian telephone directories. Free Phone is a single CD composed of business listings from the AT&T 800 Telephone directory. Business listings are also categorized by SIC codes. Select Phone for Networks contains all of the data, searching and downloading features of Select Phone, Pro CD Fax Book, and Free Phone, plus Business-in-One disc, packaged for use on networks by up to 5, 10, 25, or 50 seats. Canada Phone for Networks contains all of the data, searching and downloading features of Canada Phone and Pro CD Fax Book, packaged for use on networks by up to 5, 10, 25, or 50 seats. Business Phone is a single CD containing business listings from United States telephone directories. Home Phone is a set of two CD's containing United States residential listings. Listings may be searched by name, then limited by other fields. Home and Business Phone contains both Home Phone and Business Phone databases.

The Home Phone, Canada Home Phone, Business Phone, and Canada Business Phone search software is different from the other databases' software. The primary index for Home Phone and Canada Home Phone is the Name field. You must initiate the search with a name, and then narrow the search using the other fields. In Business Phone and Canada Business Phone you must initiate the search with a name or any portion of the phone number, then narrow the search using the other fields. In addition, the business listings in Business Phone and Canada Business Phone cannot be searched by SIC code.

Pro CD also produces List Match, Select Street Atlas, and ZIPFix.

Other Pro CD Software

List Match

Select Street Atlas

ZIPFix


List Match

List Match is the first utility software on CD-ROM designed to expand and enhance in-house databases or lists. List Match can supplement or update in-house lists, allowing companies to customize information from current lists, logically expanding databases, eliminating the need for expensive data-matching services.


Select Street Atlas

Select Street Atlas is a complete street map of the entire U.S. on one CD-ROM. Select Street Atlas includes easy-to-use navigation and drawing tools, so it's easy to create customized maps of any area of the country.  Select Street Atlas also gives you the ability to integrate data sets with the maps — from the more than one million travel destinations and business services included in the product, from Pro CD's line of CD-ROM-based telephone directories, as well as from your own databases.


ZIPFix

ZIPFix is a complete address standardization package that can be used to enhance any database containing address information. The database may contain a list of customers or businesses. You can find a ZIP code for an address, or process an entire database. ZIPFix will add ZIP+4 to the records in your database and ensure that each address meets postal recommendations. ZIPFix will also process a database for use with Select Street Atlas or List Match.


The Main Display Window

After loading the software, you will see the Main Display window. This is the principal work space where you will accomplish all of your database searches.

•	The fields used to enter data are called Data Entry Fields.

•	You may need to adjust the field sizes in order to see more fields. Use the bottom scroll bar to view the other fields. Three fields (Internet Number, WWW Number, and FTP Number) are hidden by default. See Hiding Data Fields You Aren't Using.

•	The lower area shown in white is the Data Retrieval Field. Listings that meet your search criteria can be found here. To scroll through retrieved listings, use the PageUp/PageDown keys, the arrow keys, or if you prefer, use the scroll bar.


Navigating Around

You can click the mouse in any Data Entry field, then type your search criteria. You may also press the Tab key to move the cursor to the next field to the right. Press Shift-Tab to move back to the next field to the left.

Move to the listing area by clicking on any listing with the mouse. You can then use UpArrow and DownArrow to move from one listing to another, or click on a listing with the mouse.


Conducting a Search

To view all listings, click on Max  [image], or select Retrieve Listings from the Search menu. You can also type criteria in any of the Data Entry fields, then click on Max [image], or select Retrieve Listings from the Search menu. If the cursor is located in any of the Data Entry fields, you may press Enter to start a search.


Search Strategies

While conducting searches is very easy, knowing various search strategies can make your searches faster and more productive. Keep the following strategies in mind to improve your searches:

Related Topics:

Be Careful of Spelling, Spaces, and Punctuation

Be Aware of Abbreviations


Be Careful of Spelling, Spaces, and Punctuation

Pro CD Internet Directory searches for listings that match exactly what you have typed in. If you misspell a word, add a space in the wrong place, or add a space at the end of a listing, the software will search for exact matches to that entry. If you don't find a match for a particular listing, check to see that you haven't inserted extra spaces, or try alternate spellings. Limit your use of street suffixes and punctuation.  Extraneous periods, commas, dashes, and apostrophes will make it more difficult to find a match.


Be Aware of Abbreviations

Abbreviations are used in database listings. The directions North, South, East, and West may be abbreviated as N, S, E, and W in street addresses. For example, West Main Street is abbreviated as W Main St. Other frequently used abbreviations include: St, Rd, Ave, and Blvd. If you don't find a listing for a particular address, try the search again using abbreviations wherever they seem likely.


Conduct Specialized Searches

In a search, Pro CD Internet Directory looks for listings that match the characters you've entered. However, you can also search for matches to more complex conditions and can search for listings when you are uncertain of the spelling.

Related Topics:

Defining Conditions that More Precisely Focus a Search

Wildcard Searching


Defining Conditions that More Precisely Focus a Search

In some instances, you may want to search for very specific listings. You may know that you only want listings that meet several conditions, or that you definitely do not want certain listings.

For example, you may want to create a list of all records in Boston or surrounding suburbs. To do this, specify only those regions you wish to search by entering their area codes in the Telephone field. (All listings in the Boston area fall into either the 508 or 617 area codes.) Using a specialized search, you can search for listings in both 508 and 617 area codes at the same time.


Wildcard Searching

A standard search finds listings that are spelled exactly the way you have entered them. However, at times you may not know the exact spelling of a name, or may know only part of a name. You can replace parts of words that you are uncertain of with the asterisk wildcard ( * ).

You can use the asterisk wildcard ( * ) to find all listings that contain a specific word. For example, if you wish to find all listings that contain the word video, enter *video in the Name field.


Boolean Operators

The boolean operators enhance searching, and let you either perform more defined searches, or broaden the search scope. There are three types of boolean operators that define a search: OR ( | ), AND (+), and NOT ( ! ); and there is one operator that will broaden the search: ( * ). The first group of operators works on the whole field, while the asterisk works as a wild card, and can be inserted at different points in a string of search characters.

You may use boolean operators in any of the fields, but it is important to note that boolean operators can slow a search.

NOTE: It is advisable to keep the number of entries in a field to a minimum.

Search With More Than One Criterion In a Field

Match Multiple Limiting Criteria in a Field

Exclude Listings From Your Search


Search With More Than One Criterion In a Field

The most frequently used boolean operator is the OR operator. Using the OR operator will display all listings that match either the first criterion OR the second criterion. You may represent the OR operator in two ways:

.OR.  is the 'or' operator  and   |  is the 'or' operator

( | ) is also called the Pipe Key.

•	For example, if you type the following in the telephone field:

 508|617

The search will return a complete list of everyone who lives in either the 508 or 617 area code.

•	Another way of specifying this search is to enter:

 508. OR. 617 (no spaces)


Match Multiple Limiting Criteria in a Field

The AND operator is most commonly used in the SIC code field. Use the AND operator to find listings that meet one criterion AND another criterion. There are two ways of indicating the AND operator:

. AND.  is an 'and' operator and  +  is an 'and' operator

Use the AND operator if you want to find listings that match two (or more) criteria in a given field.

•	For example: If you are searching in the SIC field for all listings that have SIC codes 7812 and 7819 (Motion Picture and Video Tape Production), enter:

7812. AND. 7819

Your retrieval field will display all listings in both categories.

•	You may also perform the search in the following way:

7812+7819 (no spaces)

Do not confuse the AND operator with the OR operator. The only time you will use the AND operator is if you want to compile a list of businesses who meet two or more sets of criteria.


Exclude Listings From Your Search

The NOT operator is used most often in the phone and ZIP code fields. Search with NOT to display listings that meet the search criterion excluding those you have indicated you do not want to find. There are two ways of indicating the NOT operator:

. NOT.  is a 'not' operator  and  !  is a 'not' operator

•	For example, to retrieve all listings except those that contain government zone names. In the Internet Address field enter:

.NOT. *.GOV

Your listings will then display all records except the ones found with government zones.

•	Another way to do the same search is to enter:

!*.GOV


Broaden a Search

If you are unsure how to spell a name, or if you want to conduct a wild card search, you may insert the asterisk wild card operator in place of  letters or characters.

An asterisk ( * ) matches zero or more characters. Using this operator indicates that you are not sure whether or not there are characters missing from a string.

•	For example, St Paul could also be spelled, Saint Paul. You may not know which spelling to use for a complete list of everyone in St Paul. Rather than doing the search twice to retrieve all of the listings, you could type: S*t Paul to retrieve all St Paul listings as well as all Saint Paul listings.


 Entering Search Criteria

1.	Either tab to or click on a search field for the database that you are using, and enter the search criteria.

2.	You can narrow your search by entering criteria. Tab to the field, or click on it using the mouse, and type in the criteria.

3.	Click on the Retrieve button [image] , select Retrieve Listings from the Search menu, or press Enter when the cursor is in a Data Entry field to retrieve the listings.

4.	Cancel a search by pressing Escape.


Perform a Wildcard Search

1.	Either tab to the field that you want to search on, or click in the field using the mouse.

2.	To perform a wildcard search, also referred to as a global search, type an asterisk ( * ) before entering the search criteria.

3.	Type in the criteria you wish to search by.

4.	To initiate the search, click the Retrieve button [image] , select Retrieve Listings from the Search menu, or press Enter when the cursor is in a Data Entry field.

Refer to Boolean Operators for a complete explanation on all wild card searching options.


Spelling, Spaces & Punctuation

Pro CD Internet Directory will match all information entered into the input field(s), including spaces, punctuation marks, numbers and letters.  Entering data appropriately ensures that the proper listings will be retrieved.

If you are searching for a company containing a punctuation mark or space, include them with your entry.  If you do not find what you are searching for, try modifying the search criteria.

For example:  Your first search did not yield the listings that you wanted. You then changed the search criteria slightly, and found the records you were looking for. Below are some examples:

You first entered:	You then changed entry to:
MC FARLANE	MCFARLANE
O'CONNER	OCONNER
GUNTHER-KELLEY	GUNTHER KELLY
A-1 COMPUTERS	A 1 COMPUTERS
J  &  L PET STORE	J&L PET STORE


Abbreviations

Street Directionals:

Here are some common street directional abbreviations:

E	East
W	West
S	South
N	North
NE	Northeast
NW	Northwest
SE	Southeast
SW	Southwest
Include the space between the directional and the street name. In some cases the directional appears before the street name:

1234	E	Main	St

When an address includes a directional followed by a street name, the directional must be included in the street field.  This provides an accurate listing if you are performing a name search and using Street as a qualifier or using Address as the primary search.

In other instances, directionals appear after the street name:

1234 Mountain Rd NW

56 Main W

Although in these cases it is not necessary to include the directional with your entry, if the directional is not included, you may retrieve a listing for the correct street but with the wrong directional.

City Abbreviations:

If you are having difficulty retrieving a listing when searching by city, here are some suggestions for determining the correct city spelling:

•	A common way to abbreviate is to eliminate the vowels from the criteria. In these instances, you would search only the consonants. For example, Mount Pearl may be abbreviated as Mt Pearl, and Fort Lauderdale may be abbreviated as  Ft Lauderdale.

•	If you are completely stumped as to how a listing may be abbreviated, make use of the wild card available on the end of each search field. Enter only the first part of the city name and press Enter to start the search. Pro CD Internet Directory will retrieve all listings that begin with that string of characters.

Extraneous periods, commas, dashes, and apostrophes will make it more difficult to find a match.

There are 3 hidden fields:

See the section on Column Widths for more on these three hidden fields.


Domain Conventions

Each computer on the Internet is assigned a host number, which is broken up into four groupings, each containing up to 3 decimal digits. This numbering convention is used to assign domain numbers (Internet Numbers, WWW Numbers, and FTP Numbers). For example, ABC Company could be assigned an Internet Number of 123.123.123.100.

The Internet Address, WWW Address, and FTP Address all use the same naming convention. The rightmost part of the name contains either a two- or three-letter zone name. Two-letter zone names are reserved for countries. For example, CA is the zone name for Canada.

Three-letter zone names are divided into types of organizations:

COM	Commercial

EDU	Educational

GOV	Government

INT	International Organizations

MIL	Military

NET	Network providers

ORG	Professional Societies and other

sites that don't fit in the above

categories


Name Field

Place the cursor in this field and enter criteria to search for. Type in a company name, or part of a company name.

If you aren't sure of the spelling, enter the first letter of the name and press Enter. All company names that start with the letter you entered will display.

If you are sure of only part of the name, enter the wildcard character ( * ), followed by the portion of the name. For example, if you know the company name has the word trade in it, enter *trade in the Name field.


Internet Address Field

Place the cursor in this field and enter an Internet Address as the search criterion. Type in the entire Internet Address, or part of the Internet Address. If you know only a portion of the Internet Address, use the asterisk wildcard ( * ) character followed by the portion of the Internet Address you know. For example, if you know the Internet Address has the word press in it, enter *press in the Internet Address field.

If you know that the listing you are looking for is a commercial business, then enter *.COM as part of your criteria. Refer to the Domain Conventions section for information about three-letter Zone Names.

NOTE: Registered Domain (Internet) Addresses are not required to have an active Web or FTP site. Therefore Domain names without these services are displayed without Web or FTP information as part of their listing. Instead, the word INACTIVE appears in the Web or FTP column for that listing.


Internet Number Field

By default, this field is hidden. To view this field, widen the column. See Hiding Data Fields You Aren't Using.

Select this field and enter an Internet Number as the search criterion. Type in the entire Internet number, or part of the Internet number. If you know only a portion of the Internet number, use the ( * ) wildcard character preceded or followed by the portion of the Internet number. For example, enter 204 to find all Internet numbers that begin with that portion of an Internet number.

NOTE: This field will be blank for listings that do not have a host with the same name as the domain.


WWW Address Field

Select this field and enter a WWW address as the search criterion. Type in the entire WWW address, or part of the WWW address. If you know only a portion of the WWW address, use the asterisk wildcard (*) character followed by the portion of the WWW address.  For example, if you know the WWW address has the word press in it, enter *press in the WWW Address field.

If you know that the listing you are looking for is a commercial business, then enter *.COM as part of your criteria. Refer to the Domain Conventions section for information about three-letter Zone Names.

NOTE: Registered Domain (Internet) Addresses are not required to have an active Web or FTP site. Listings without a Web site will display INACTIVE in this field.


WWW Number Field

By default, this field is hidden. To view this field, widen the column. See Hiding Data Fields You Aren't Using.

Select this field and enter a WWW number as the search criterion. Type in the entire WWW number, or part of the WWW number. If you know only a portion of the WWW number, use the asterisk wildcard (*) character followed by the portion of the WWW number. Or you may enter 204  to find all WWW numbers that begin with that portion of a WWW number.

NOTE: Listings without a Web site will display INACTIVE in this field.


FTP Address Field

Select this field and enter an FTP address as the search criterion. Type in the entire FTP address, or part of the FTP address.  If you know only a portion of the FTP address, use the asterisk wildcard character (*) followed by a portion of the FTP address.  For example, if you know the FTP Address has the word press in it, enter *press in the FTP Address field.

If you know that the listing you are looking for is a commercial business, then enter .COM as part of your criteria. Refer to the Domain Conventions section for information about three-letter Zone Names.

NOTE: Registered Domain (Internet) Addresses are not required to have an active Web or FTP site. Listings without an FTP site will display INACTIVE in this field.


FTP Number Field

By default, this field is hidden. To view this field, widen the column. See Hiding Data Fields You Aren't Using.

Select this field and enter an FTP number as the search criterion. Type in the entire FTP number, or part of the FTP number. If you know only a portion of the FTP number, use the asterisk wildcard character (*) preceded or followed by the portion of the FTP number. For example, enter 204 to find all FTP numbers that begin with that portion of an FTP number.

NOTE: Listings without an FTP site will display INACTIVE in this field.


SIC Code Field

Select this field and enter an SIC code for a search criterion. Searching by  SIC code will generate a listing of all companies in a certain type of business. If you do not know the SIC codes, select SIC Codes from the Search menu to review a list of SIC codes.


Address Field

Select this field and enter an address for the search criterion. Searching the address field is useful when you are looking for businesses on a particular street, or when you know only the address of your lead. The address includes street number, street name, suffix and directional. You may narrow your search by entering a complete address. You may also do a search as broad as only a street name. (Remember to type an asterisk ( * ) before the street name to accomplish a wildcard search.)

NOTE: Due to the source of the data, international listings do not contain address information.


City Field

Select this field and enter a city for the search criterion. Duplicate city names do exist in the U.S. and other countries, so make sure you enter criteria in the State and Country fields to narrow your search.

You may also search for listings in more than one city using Boolean Operators. For example, entering moraga|san francisco in the City field returns all listings that are in Moraga or San Francisco.

Be aware that some cities may be listed with abbreviations. For example, Fort may be abbreviated as Ft, Saint as St, and Mount as Mt.


State Field

Select this field and enter a state (or province) abbreviation for the search criterion.

You may also search for listings that appear in more than one state using Boolean Operators. For example, entering nm|co in the State field returns all listings that are in New Mexico and Colorado.


Zip Code Field

Select this field and enter a ZIP code (or post code), or part of the ZIP code for the search criterion.

Entering 019 and pressing Enter displays all listings that are within the 019 ZIP code area (within Eastern Massachusetts).


Country Field

Enter the country you wish to search in for a listing. You can enter the first few characters of the country name. For example, type A* in the Country field and press Enter. Listings from countries including Antarctica and Austria are displayed.


Phone Number Field

Select this field and enter a phone number, and area code, or a portion of a phone number as the search criterion. Enter 617 to display listings from the 617 area code. Make sure you enter a dash ( - ) between each portion of the phone number.

You may also search for listings that appear in more than one exchange using the pipe key ( | ) Boolean operator. For example, if you enter 617-631|617-639, listings that are located in Marblehead Massachusetts (where 617 is the area code, and 631 as well as 639 are Marblehead exchanges) are displayed.

Keep in mind that the phone number listed may not be the company's main number. This number was registered with the Internet address listed and may connect you to the department that's responsible for online activities.


Registration Date field

This field displays the day, month, and year that the listing was registered.

To search for listings that registered in 1996, use the * wildcard character, and enter *96 in the Reg Date field.

What are SIC Codes?


What are SIC Codes?

The U.S. Standard Industrial Classification (known as SIC) classifies categories of businesses. SIC codes cover the entire range of all business categories that exist within the economy. U.S. industries are categorized into the following divisions:

 Agriculture, forestry, and fishing

 Mining

 Construction

 Manufacturing

 Transportation and Public Utilities

 Wholesale Trade

 Retail Trade

 Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate

 Services

 Public Administration

 Nonclassifiable establishments

Each SIC code division contains a series of subcategories that cover all areas within that specific division. Retail establishments are classified by the type of goods sold (groceries, hardware).

Each division contains many SIC codes. For example, the Retail Trade division includes SIC Codes 5211 (Lumber and Other Building Materials Dealers), 5231 (Paint, Glass, and Other Wallpaper Stores), 5411 (Grocery stores), as well as many other SIC codes that represent other subcategories.

The government-standard SIC codes are 4 digits long. Pro CD takes SIC codes one step further than the 4-digit standard. We've further specialized SIC codes, appending letter extensions to further define the type of business. For example, the SIC code for restaurants is 5812. Within that subcategory, we've assigned 5812A to American restaurants, 5812B to Chinese restaurants, and so on.

You'll find SIC codes listed in Pro CD Internet Directory listings. The More Information box lists the SIC codes and descriptions for a specific listing.

Global search

A search for all listings that contain a string of characters.

The boolean operator that works as an OR function. ( | ) is also called the Pipe Key. On some keyboards it is pictured as a straight up and down line; and on other keyboards it is shown as a broken up and down line, and is located above the backslash key ( \ ).
