About MacPhoneSoup:
MacPhoneSoup is a nifty phone utility that generates words from phone numbers.
eg. 269-4455 will produce a list of word/number combinations, one of which is "big-hill".
What Can it do?
you can use MacPhoneSoup to do the following:
• produce easy to remember words/numbers combination from telephone numbers.
• convert telephone numbers that contains words to numberic phone numbers for
easy dialing(the last entry on the output list contains the numeric output).
• produce alternate spelling for your current "worded" phone number.
eg. 800-CALL-ATT is also 800-BALK-CUT
• walk your dog, feed your cat, wash your dishes, you imagination is the limit.
History and Credit:
MacPhoneSoup is based on version 4.0b2 of Soren Ragsdale's ANSI C++ program
Soup(http://www.cs.arizona.edu/people/soren/soup/soup.html). There was a console
based mac version, called PhoneSoup 3.1. I liked the program and found it useful
so I took the opportunity of the Summer 98 to make MacPhoneSoup.
I would like to give the following people credit for their contribution to make
MacPhoneSoup a reality.

Fees & Distribution:
MacPhoneSoup is a FREE. However, if you decide to keep it for longer than 21 days,

it, if any, so I can decide wether it is worth my time to make bug fixes and add new
features. I will NOT however sell your email addresses to anyone, it is just for my
record.
