That was about the same time that we had major renumbering operation in The
Netherlands. I had to edit the translation table because there was a time when
local numbers could only be called WITHOUT the area code and the areas were
made bigger. More digits to the local number and shorter area codes. Also the
total number of digits to dial for a non local call were fixed at ten digits.
In the old system is was variable. 7 to 9 digits.

Not much later local calls could either be made by dialing the full 10 digit
number including the area code or just dialing the local number.


Cheers, Michiel
