	In some areas of the US, it is necessary to have numbers 
of the form 1 (nnn) nnn-nnnn.  In others it is an error to do that.
Is it necessary in Europe?   If it is, I hope that people in Europe
know about it.  There is no way of knowing who needs what here.
For instance were I live I dial:

	1 415 nnn-nnnn 

to call a San Francisco area code. But in Santa Clara, which is
in THE SAME AREA CODE as here,  I have to dial


	415 nnn-nnnn

If someone gave their phone number as "1 415 nnn nnnn" it would be fine
to dial that  number here, but it would not work in Santa Clara.
