I tried to compile this and found errors.
1. line 121 missing a ")", I stuck it just before the THEN
2. line 68 truncated. I added "E[N +1,1] = "N" THEN SILENT = 1"
I moved back to lesser URL and found description in "C" code to help with above. These
writers are aware of the truncations etc. The code in basic was put up UNCHANGED then
they worked the "C" code with described algorithms.
I then switched the variables in subroutine call statement at line 1 (METAPH, NAME)
I then created a "I" descriptor SUBR("MTAPHON", LNAME)
Viewed the items
Created and build and index in MTAPHON field.
I seems to work even with my "bad fix".
then I experimented by changing "4" to "6" in line 23
--FOR N = 1 TO L WHILE LEN(METAPH) < 6

soundex is pathetic - nowadays, metaphone is much better.
if you're feeling perl'ish
http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol5_3/tpj0503-0009.html
has an interesting discussion of using several approximate methods for
identifying records by name. it even discusses the betty/elizabeth,
jack/john problem... looks slow so you would probably have to cache the
results. c'mon there must be *something* unique in the file they send!
