Summary: I am working on a similar program Hey guy, guess what? I am currently working on such a program for the Commodore Amiga. As of yet I am very sketchy as to what features would be useful for a fire department. I have discussed it somewhat with the local fire department in my home(small) town. The only trouble is that they are *extremely* computer illiterate so it is difficult for them to tell me what they need or for me to tell them what I have in mind. I would appriciate if you would send me some info (as detailed as possible) on what you would like to see in such a program. So far I plan to implement a map of the town showing where the home is, where the nearest fire hydrant is, how many people are in the house, how many kids, etc. I saved your original post which gives me a start on what is needed. Looking forward to hearing from you. P.S. please mail to me. Do not post as I am rarely on this group. if you must post, then post to comp.sys.amiga. I can usually be found lurking around there somewhere. -Alan W. McKay #1 Amigan in N.S. CANADA
