Hi-ho!

More questions on the Unix PC, alias 7300, alias 3B1 (safari, anyone?)

I am trying to get a data file from some ASCII format into the Telephone
Manager format.  We have "Saved" several telephone files (*:F) and
dumped them out with od, trying to make some sense of what is going on
in them.  (Of course, first we tried "Export"ing them, but it turned out
that we couldn't "Import" them).

One of two things would help me greatly:
1) a utility to take some defined format and place telephone numbers
   directly into the Telephone Manager Call Screen.  As far as I can
   tell, this is not provided within the Telephone Manager.
2) a description of the "Save" format, including the header information.
   The tail end of the file is easy enough to decipher, since it contains
   a length count, followed by all the fields, separated by newlines, for
   each entry in the telephone window.  There is a whole lot of header 
   information, though.

Also, is there any limit to the number of entries allowed in the window?

Thanks in advance,

David Laurance
