South African Postal Codes database for Psion 3c
================================================
I've made this one up mostly for my own use, but since I've had a request,
I'm posting it into the public domain.

To install:
============
copy the file "postcode.dbf" to a DAT directory on the Psion. Since this
file is not likely to change often, a flash disk is ideal.

That's it!

Compatibility
=============

This file *should* work on a Psion 3a, but since I don't have one, you'll have
to find that out the hard way! I have no idea if it will work on a Psion 3
or Siena.

Restrictions
============

1. To save space, I have deleted all Afrikaans names that are duplicated in
English. So you have to search for "Warmbaths" and "Fish Hoek" rather than
"Warmbad" and "Vishoek". Sorry about that, but the file was *much* too big
as it was! Names that exist only in Afrikaans, like "Witbank", or only in
African languages, like "Ulundi" have not been deleted.

2. A lot of the post office names are duplicated in different towns. To be
sure that you have found the right "Sunnyside" (6 entries) or "Garden
Village" (3 entries), first try the city/town field to narrow down your
search. If that doesn't help, the following chart should help you find in
which part of the country your address is:

4. I have spotchecked this database against the Post Office's 1996 list of
postcodes to check that it is accurate. I am not responsible for your mail
getting lost!

5. You are free to redistribute the database provided you distribute this
file along with it. You are also free to retranslate the database into a
format that can be read on another type of computer.
