Add or Modify Information

WinPIM provide you some useful information such as Zip/Area Codes, Metrology, and World City to look up quickly. If you want to add additional information you can follow these steps:

1.	Close WinPIM

2.	Open Windows Explorer and find the directory where the files INFO.XML is located. You will find them in a subdirectory of the WinPIM installation directory, called LANGUAGE\{name off the language} e.g. if you are using an english version, the files are located in \LANGUAGE\ENG\

3.	INFO.xml contains the all the ZIP/AREA code info, open the file you want to edit with a plain text editor, e.g. Notepad.

4.	Make your changes.

5.	Save the file.

6.	Restart WinPIM

Note:

We are very sorry that have NOT got the complete zip/area codes for many countries in this release. We will continue to complete them. If you have any additional files, please mail us.

info.xml Format:

Do NOT change the key name in info.ini file: WinPIMInfo, Version, Name, Code, Property, Items, Width, Fields

Version: The version of WinPIM information database

Name: The name of WinPIM information database

Code: The WinPIM address information

Property: 0 Child Node, 1 Parent Node

Items: The items of the field

Fields: The fields of the item

Width: The width of a field

Key Word: '$file:' For example: Items=$file:file1.txt

All other items have the following format:

[My Info]

Property=0

Items=one,two

Fields=category

[one]

fields=code,desc

width=138,150

items=1,file not found,2,unknown error

[two]

fields=code,oms

width=138,150

items=1,file not found,2,unknown error

Add additional information:

If you want to add additional information rather than zip/area code, we recommend that you should create a new .xml file, because we may upgrade the info.xml file and may replace the old one in the future. Your new file should named as info_*.xml (* means anything), the format of the new file is the same as info.xml. WinPIM can recognize any info_*.xml file, and will add them into WinPIM automatically.
