Hi OzNUGgers and Newtoneers everywhere,This (version 1.1) is the _third_ version of the first OzNUG group programming project - a program to convert current Australian telephone numbers to Austel's new 8 digit numbering scheme.Yes, all Australian Telephone numbers are changing to 8 (eight, count 'em!) over the next three or four years, with many areas in the major cities of Sydney & Melbourne changing by July 1995! At the same time, many area codes are changing to a much simplified two-digit code (e.g. all of NSW will be 02, all of Victoria 03 etc).Version 1.1 works for ALL numbers (i.e. it will convert any valid Australian number, as long as it is entered with the both area code and number).It now works for numbers with embedded punctuation e.g (02) 954 0037#.Please use, test, criticise, enjoy - but most of all, give us feedbck!Note that OzNUG makes no claims about the completeness, accuracy, efficiency or general neatness of the code: initially it was an attempt to see how quickly we could get it to work (2.5hrs+5hrs). In particular, we are just learning how to write Newton code, and the style, design & methods we have used may not be the best or correct way to do things. If you have a better way, please let us know!Future versions will allow "Find"-ing a number from the Names Card File & optionally modifying the number in place. There will also be a settable default area code prefix and a popup for choosing other major prefixes. Anyone with an idea of how to make this app "float" over the top of the Names app to update entries in place - please contact us!Any other ideas, suggestions, user interface criticisms, more efficient algorithms for choosing the 8-digit eqivalents, etc are most welcome. Please email Craig (Craig_Dunn@aapda.com.au) or or Robin (simmo@geko.com.au).

Any ideas (Anyone from Kangaroo Island???		Anyone from Austel??? Any kangaroos with Newtons???).Change History-------------v1.1 - 22/2/95 (Robin Simpson - simmo@geko.com.au)¥	Added parsing of old number input text to remove embedded punctuation¥	Changed protoInput lines to protoStaticText lines where possible¥	Changed assignment statements on results text slots to setValues¥	General cleanup including commenting out debug lines & removing unneccesary slotsv1.0 - January 1995 (Craig Dunn - Craig_Dunn@aapda.com.au)¥	First "Real" version with complete lookup table of conversion codesv0.9 - December 1994 (Craig Dunn - Craig_Dunn@aapda.com.au)¥	Original test version with only Sydney codes hard coded¥	Original design & code by Craig Dunn
