Introduction
What is WinPhone
Welcome to WinPhone! The newest member of the ProPhone family, WinPhone allows
you to access the National Telephone Directory Databases on CD-ROM via
windows. Now you need only click on the WinPhone icon from your program
manager to peruse business and residential listings from all over the United
States and Canada. The software allows you to download the listings to another
drive; import the listings into another application; print customized mailing
labels or dial a highlighted number directly. The software for all databases
allows for wild card searching, enabling you to search for a word in a string
of words. The listings for all databases are updated on a quarterly basis.
Each quarter, about 25% of the listings are updated with information from new
telephone directories. The databases that are available with WinPhone are
SelectPhone, DirectPhone, FreePhone and CanadaPhone. SelectPhone is a set of
four 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 sort listings by business classification. All of the SelectPhone
fields are optimized for fast searching. The first of our global product line,
CanadaPhone, is a single CD, with both business and residential listings from
Canadian telephone directories. The Canadian business listings are also
categorized by SIC codes. FreePhone is a single CD composed of business
listings from the AT&T 800 Telephone directory. The search software for
FreePhone is the same as SelectPhone and CanadaPhone software. Business
listings are also categorized by SIC codes. DirectPhone is a set of two CD's
containing business and residential listings from United States telephone
directories. The DirectPhone search software is different from the other
databases software. The primary index for DirectPhone is the name field. You
must initiate the search with a name, and then narrow the search using the
other sort fields. The business listings in DirectPhone are not categorized
by SIC codes.
If you have further questions regarding the databases available to use with
either the Windows or DOS applications, please call the Pro CD, Inc. Customer
Support Department at 617-631-7272. You may also fax your questions to
617-631-9299, or journey down the Infobahn to our BBS, 617-631-4646. We would
love to hear from you!
Installation
WinPhone Windows Install
How to Install WinPhone
1. Place the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. From the program manager, click File and choose Run. (You may also do this
from the File Manager.)
3. When the dialog box appears, type X:WINSTALL. (Where X is the letter
assigned to your CD-ROM drive.)
4. Click OK.
5. After a few seconds, the WinPhone install program will appear on the
screen. You will be asked to specify the hard drive letter, and the directory
you would like to have the program installed in. You will also be asked
whether any necessary changes can be made to the autoexec.bat so the program
can be installed properly. If you are unsure as to what you should enter,
choose the default selections.
6. Once installed, you may access WinPhone by clicking on the icon in your
program manager.
The WinPhone Listing
A directory listing can contain the following information: name (Last, First,
MI), address (house number, directional, street name, street suffix), city,
state, zip, telephone, SIC, business, year, and number of employees. The chart
shown below describes what field information is available with each database,
and whether the field is a primary field, limit field, restrictive field or
information field.
Please refer to the table below for a description of the abbreviations.
* P = Primary Search: Optimized searching capabilities. This field can
be used to do a lookup or restrictive type of search. Searching may be done on
this field alone, or it may be combined with other primary or limit fields for
a more defined search.
* L = Limit Search: Not a primary search field. This field will allow
you to limit a search by selecting certain limit criteria.
* Inf = Information: Data provided for informational purposes only.
This is not a search field. The information will export with the listing when
using ASCII and Fixed formats.
* Res = Restrictive: These fields are used to narrow a search to a
specific address: city, state, zip, area code or telephone number. The search
must be initiated using the primary search field for this product, the
limiting criteria may then be entered.
* NA = Not Applicable: This field is not available with this product.
WinPhone Windows
Database Selection Window
When you first enter the software, or when you click on the "New Disc" button,
or when you select "Open Database" from the File menu, you will get a list of
available databases. The software will search all hard disks and available
drives to find all of the ProPhone databases. As in the DOS product, you may
also access this window using the F9 function key. Double click on the
database that you want to view to open it. Once you have opened a new database
you will see the Main Display menu.
The Main Display Window
After choosing a database and opening it, you will see the Main Display
Window. This is the principal work space in WinPhone, where all of the
searches will be executed.
* The fields used to enter data are called Data Entry Fields. The Main Display
window shown here is from SelectPhone. Please refer to The WinPhone Listing
for a list of what fields are available in the other databases.
* Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to adjust the field sizes
in order to see the SIC, Year and # of Employees fields.
* There are four pull down menu's available in the Main Display window. These
are located on the State field, the Telephone field, the SIC field, and the
Business field. The purpose of the pull down menu is to provide you with
information that you may not have readily accessible. Information such as
State abbreviations, SIC codes and Area codes.
* Thelower portion of the window is the Data Retrieval Field. Listings that
meet your search criteria can be found here. To scroll through retrieved
listings, use the page up/page down keys, the arrow keys, or if you prefer,
you may also use the scroll bar.
The Tag Manager Window
The Tag Manager shows a listing of all tagged items found in the Main Display
Window; tagged items appear in red. This window looks identical to the Main
Display Window with the exception that the fields are grayed out and can't be
used to input information.
The purpose of the Tag Manager is to create a temporary file of listings that
you will want to print, export, or dial once you have completed all of the
searches. When you Tag a listing using the option key, (or by double-
clicking highlighted listings), the listing will automatically be stored in
the Tag Manager. Tagged listings will remain in the Tag Manager until you
Untag them. Clearing tagged listings from your search screen will not effect
tagged listings in the Tag Manager. You must be in the Tag Manager to clear
listings from it. You can create any size file with any combination of
listings, then print or download them all at once. Once you exit WinPhone
however, the listings will not be saved in the Tag Manager.

How To...
Search
Search Basics
There are three types of searches: lookup, restrictive, and sorts. A lookup
search is where you retrieve listings by entering information into a single
field. A restrictive search is where you enter information into two or more
fields. A sort (not available with DirectPhone) is where you wish to retrieve
listings related to the highlighted listing, such as listings with adjacent
telephone numbers or addresses. When searching for a listing, it is very
important to correctly enter the data that you are searching. The software
will search for what you typed in. If you do not find the listing that you are
searching for, try a different spelling. Keep in mind that misplaced spaces,
misspelled names, and inaccurate punctuation marks will throw the search off.
Be aware of abbreviations when searching. A city with a long name may be
abbreviated in the database. You must enter the abbreviated name to search
correctly .A search is considered to have an implicit wild card on the end of
it. For example, if you enter Roberts you will retrieve listings beginning
with Roberts including Robertsen, Robertson. In the name field, if you only
want to retrieve Roberts (and not Robertson, etc), press the space bar after
entering the name Roberts, only those listings will appear.
Search Specialties: Boolean Operators
The Boolean Operators enhance the search engine and allow you to either
perform more defined searches, or to broaden the search scope. There are three
types of Boolean searches that define a search: Or ( | ), And (+), &
Not ( ! ); and there are three operators that will broaden the search: ( *, ?
and $ ). The former group of operators works on the whole field, and the
latter group works like wild cards, and can be inserted at different points in
the string of characters. You may use the Boolean Operators in the following
fields: Name, City, State, Zip, Phone and SIC. The maximum number of entries
in a given field is five. It is important to note that the boolean searches
can slow the search engine down. It is advisable to keep the number of entries
in a field to a minimum.
Defining a Search
Search More Than One Criterion In a Field
The most frequently used boolean operator is the OR operator. OR is commonly
used in SIC, zip, and phone fields to sort multiple criteria. Using the OR
operator will display all listings that match either the first criterion OR
the second criterion. There are two ways of indicating an OR operator:
.OR. is an 'or' operator and | is an 'or' operator
( | ) 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 ( \ ). This would be
the operator to use if you are searching for everybody in more than one zip
code, or in more than one area code, or in more than one SIC code.
* For Example, if in the telephone field you type:
508|617
The search will return a complete list of everyone who lives in either the
508 or the 617 area code.
* Another way of specifying this search is to enter:
508. OR. 617
The search will return a complete list of everyone who lives in either the 508
area code or the 617 area code. (Please note there should be no spaces
between any of the characters.)
Match Multiple Limiting Criteria in a Field
The AND operator is most commonly used in the SIC field. Using the AND
operator, means listings must meet this criterion AND that criterion. There
are two ways of indicating the AND operator:
. AND. is an 'and' operator and + is an 'and' operator
Customers would use this field if they 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 everyone who
is both a Dentist AND a Surgeon, you would enter:
8021. AND. 8011S
Your retrieval field will display all people who are listed as both Dentists
AND Surgeons. (Please note there should be no spaces between any of the
characters.)
* You may also perform the search in the following way:
8021+8011S
for a complete display of all those who are both Dentists and Surgeons.
Weed Listings Out of Your Search
The NOT operator is used most often in the phone and zip code fields. Using
the NOT search will provide a list of everybody who meets the search criterion
except those you have indicated that 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, you would like to retrieve all listings in California,
except not those in the 619 and 213 area codes. In the state field
enter CA, and in the phone field you would type:
.NOT. 904.NOT.213
Your display will then show all the listings in California except not those
in the 213 or the 904 area codes.
* Another way to do the same search is to enter:
!904!213
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 boolean wild card operators in place of letters or
characters. Please note, use of the boolean operator may slow the search
engine.
* 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 two times to retrieve all of the listings, you could type:
S*t Paul to retrieve all St Paul listings as well as the Saint Paul listings.
? Matches zero or one character. Using this operator indicates that you are
unsure as to whether or not there should be a letter in a particular position.
* For example, you do not know if Joe spells his last name Macdougal or
McDougal. In the data entery field you would type: M?cdougal to retrieve a
complete list of all the Macdougal and McDougal listings. The additional
letter would be inserted where applicable, and omitted where not appropriate.
$ Matches exactly one character. When you insert the $, you are indicating
that there should be a character in that position, you are just not sure what
that letter is. For example, you would type: Jeffers$n to display names
spelled: Jefferson and Jeffersen.
How to Search by Name
1. Open a database.
2. Either Tab to the name field, or click on it with the mouse.
3. Type in the information that you have to search. If you are certain as to
how an individual or a company is listed in the telephone directory, you may
enter that information. (Residential listing: Last name, First name, MI; For
a Business Listing try: Company name, The)
4. Either click on the retrieve button with your mouse, or press enter. The
software will find all records that match the information you entered in the
name field.
5. If you are unsure as to how the listing may appear in the directory, enter
as much of the information as you are certain about.
* For example, you are trying to locate an old friend, Andrea Bolino.
You know how she spells her last name, but are uncertain as to whether
she is listed under A. Bolino, or Andrea Bolino, or her frequently
used nickname Andy Bolino. In this case the information that you are
certain about is A. Bolino. In the name field, you would type: Bolino
A
* Click on the retrieve button, or press enter.
* All of the A Bolino's will appear in the data retrieval field,
including: A Bolino, Alexander Bolino, Andrea Bolino, & Aretha Bolino,
etc. You should then be able to discern which A Bolino is your friend.
6. The other way to retrieve listings that you are uncertain about is to make
use of the boolean wild card operators.
7. Once you have entered the search criteria, click the retrieve button or
press enter.
8. You may then browse through the listings using the scroll bar, page
up/page down keys, or the arrow keys.
How to Search by Address
1. Open a database.
2. Either tab to the address field, or click in the field with the mouse. (If
you are searching by a street address, click in the Address field. If you are
searching a city, click in the City field; if you are searching a state, click
in the State field; if you are searching by a zip code click in the Zip
field.) Address searching generally works faster when you enter in a State in
combination with part of a city name or address.
3. If you are searching a street address, it is important to enter the data as
it appears in the directory.
* For example, you are searching a listing on 4500 S 14th St NE.
If you spell out NE as Northeast, or if you spell out S as South,
or if you spell out 14 as fourteen, the listing will not be
found, because in the database it is listed as 4500 S 14th St NE.
Please refer to the table of abbreviations for a complete list of
abbreviations.
4. Click the retrieve button , or press enter.
How to Restrict the Search
1. Open a database.
2. Either tab to or click on the primary search field for the database
that you are using, enter the search criteria.
3. You can narrow the search using as many of the restrict or limit
fields as you would like. Tab to the field, or click on it using the mouse,
and type in the limiting criteria.
* For example, you have the DirectPhone Business database open. (In the
DirectPhone database you must initiate the search on the name field). You
would like to search all of the Wendy's restaurants in the 212 area code. In
the name field you enter Wendy's. In the Telephone field you enter 212.
* Press enter, or click on the retrieve button for a complete list of
all the Wendy's restaurant in the 212 area code.
* Another example: In this example you have the SelectPhone Southern
Region database open. (In SelectPhone, you can initiate a search on any of the
primary fields.) You want to search all listings on Rt A1A in the 407 area
code. In the address field type A1A, in the telephone field type 407.
* Press enter or click on Max for a complete list of all listings on Rt
A1A in the 407 area
code.
4. Click on Max . (or press enter) to retrieve the listings.
How to Perform a Wild Card Search
1. Open a database.
2. Either tab to the field that you want to search on, or click in the
field using the mouse. The Wild Card search feature is available on the name
field and the address field.
3. To perform a wild card search, also referred to as a global search,
enter an asterisk *
before entering the search criteria.
4. Type in the data you have to search. In the name field you can search
first names, or a portion of a name, or a word in a string.
* For example, you can sort all listings that have the word hardware in
them; you may search all listings that have the letter sequence: Att.; or you
may also search everyone with the first name Broomhilda.
5. To initiate the search, either click the retrieve button, or press
enter. Please refer to the special section on Boolean Operators for a complete
explanation on all wild card searching options.
How to Jericho Search
You are now able to search multiple databases at one time with the Jericho
Search. The key to performing a Jericho search, is to open the databases at
the same time. When you first enter the software, you will see a list of
available databases. Highlight the databases that you want to search. You may
highlight contiguous databases by clicking on the first one you would like to
open, then drag the cursor to the next database you would like open; or if the
databases that you would like to search are non-contiguous, highlight the
first one, then hold the control key down and click on the other databases you
would like to open. Make sure that you hold the control key down until you
have highlighted all of the databases that you want open. Once you release the
control key, you won't be able to include additional databases.
Opening Contiguous Databases:
1. Highlight the first database that you would like to include in the
Jericho Search. Do not release the mouse button.
2. Click and Drag. Without releasing the mouse button, drag the highlight
bar to include all of the databases you would like to search.
3. To open the selected databases, press shift enter.
Opening Non-Contiguous Databases:
1. Highlight the first database that you would like to include in the
Jericho Search.
2. Press the control key, then highlight the second database that you
would like to search.
3. Continue to hold the control key down, and highlight the third
database that you would like to search. You may include as many databases in
the Jericho search as your system can handle.
4. To open the selected databases, you may either double click the
highlighted entries, or press shift enter.
You will know whether or not you have opened the databases properly if the
Jericho Search window appears on your screen in place of the Main Display
window. (See diagram below.) You may carry out the same searches in the
Jericho Search window as in the Main Display window. Only now you will be
searching across multiple databases for the listings. Please note, each
additional database requires 2 mgb's of Ram to run.You may perform a Jericho
search with any combination of available databases. Keep in mind, however,
that different databases may have different searching capabilities. For
example, if you have both a SelectPhone and a DirectPhone database open,
WinPhone will use the DirectPhone software for the searches. You will not see
any information in the SIC, Business, Year and # of employee fields, nor will
you be able to search on these fields. This is because SelectPhone has all of
the same search capabilities as DirectPhone, but DirectPhone does not have all
of the same search capabilities as SelectPhone.
Locking & Unlocking Fields
A locked field will freeze any search criterion that was in the field when you
locked it. Double-clicking on a field will alternatively lock/unlock that
field (a locked field appears in red). This function is especially useful
when conducting repetitive searches. People frequently ask, "How can I limit
my search to only business listings? I do not need the residential listings."
The easiest way to do this, is to type a B in the Business field. Then lock
that field, and you need not continually re-enter that information.
Spelling, Spaces & Punctuation
WinPhone 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 last name 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:
In this example your first search did not yield the listings that you
wanted. You then changed the search criteria slightly, and found whom
you were looking for.
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.
In these situations the directional needs to be included in the street field.
This provides an accurate display if performing a name search and using Street
as a qualifier or using Address as the primary Sort.In other instances,
directionals appear after the street name:
1234 Hanging 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:
Some city names are abbreviated due to length. If you are having difficulty
retrieving a listing when searching by city, here are some suggestions for
determining the correct abbreviation:
* If known, request a search by Zip Code and note the city abbreviation.
* If you know the Area Code and/or telephone prefix for the city,
request a search using this information and note the city abbreviation.
* A common way to abbreviate is to eliminate the vowels from the word.
In these instances, you would search only the consonants. For example,
Fellowship Church Rd is abbreviated Fllwshp Chrh Rd.
* If you are completely stumped as to how a listing may be abbreviated,
make use of the implicit wild card available on the end of each search field.
Enter only the first part of the city name. The software will retrieve all
listings that begin with that string of characters.
More Information Screen
Click the right mouse button to get the following screen that contains
additional information for the highlighted listing. Pointing the mouse at a
listing other than the highlighted listing will give you more information on
that listing as well.

will appear in the window.
4. Highlight the SIC code that best suits what you are searching by
clicking on it.
5. Press enter, and the SIC code will automatically be inserted into the
SIC code field. Double-clicking on the highlighted word will also serve the
same function. If you do not find the SIC code from the key word you searched,
try typing the root, or a different variation of the word.
You may print a complete list of all SIC codes used in the database. There is
a file on the CD entitled SIC.ASC. You may copy the file from the CD-ROM drive
to the hard drive and print it.

you are not sure what to enter as a limiter, click the arrow button found in
the lower right hand portion of the field to get a listing of available
inputs. Double-click the item to choose it.
Size the Data Entry Fields
Double-clicking on the top half of the bar that separates the fields will
alternatively minimize and maximize the field to the left of the bar This can
be especially useful if you are only interested in some of the fields and the
display isn't large enough to accommodate all fields. To return the field to
its actual size, simply click on the minimized button and the fields will be
maximized again. Placing the mouse on the bottom portion of the field allows
you to move the cell boundaries (when the arrow changes to a double arrow
press and hold down the left mouse button and drag the boundary to the new
location).
How to Minimize & Maximize Search Fields
1. Click the top portion of the field separating bar to minimize the
cell to the left of the bar.

How to Adjust Field Width
1. Click on the black bar separating the fields.
2. Drag the bar to the left to make the field smaller.
3. Drag the bar to the right to make the field wider.
Information that has been truncated due to a shortened field is indicated by
an ellipsis and can be viewed by making the field wider. In SelectPhone,
CanadaPhone and FreePhone, it may be necessary to make the cells smaller to
view the SIC field, Number of Employees field, Business Indicator field, and
the Publication Year field. Tabbing to these fields will not make these fields
visible on your screen.
