- ; Modified form of ss.list which now contains only Canadian provinces.
- ; The colon separated fields are:
- ; 1 - The standard abbreviation for the section
- ; 2 - The full name of the section
- ; 3 - Standard and/or alternate abbreviations for the section,
- ; each separated by a comma
- ; An asterisk in the abbreviations is a wildcard for any character.
- ; The program only searches field 3 when looking for a section name.
- ; So for most of the entries, the first one is the section abbreviation.
- ; A few of them, such as Idaho (id*) and Oklahoma (ok*) only need the
- ; abbreviation followed by a wildcard because that will match whatever is
- ; typed for that section. E.g. ok* will match: ok, okl, okla, oklah etc
- ; and they all uniquely identify Oklahoma. On the other hand, some sections
- ; require several variations on the abbreviations to be sure you can catch
- ; most (if not all!) variations on the way someone can enter the section
- ; name.
- ; If you add, delete or change any of the abbreviations you must remember
- ; that the operator is required to abbreviate "north", "south", "east" and
- ; "west" to their first letter
- ; The spaces at the end of the first and second fields is only to make the
- ; file easier to read and the spaces are not essential as trailing spaces
- ; are stripped from these two fields. Furthermore the list does not have to
- ; be in alphabetical order. The program sorts all the abbreviations anyway.
