A New Archaeological Find

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: ‘California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'

One week later, The Statesman Journal, a local newspaper in Oregon, reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Salem, Oregon, Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Oregon had already gone wireless.

Who said Oregonians are hicks?

NAME
ktoblzcheck - Check Account and BLZ (bank routing code) SYNOPSIS
ktoblzcheck [--returncode] [--file=<datafile>] <bank-id> <account-id> DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ktoblzcheck application. ktoblzcheck is a program that will check a given account and blz for the bank being valid and the account being valid using some checksum calculations, if supported for that particular bank. The output is the clear-text name of the bank specified by <bank-id>, and whether the given <account-id> is a valid account number at this bank. OPTIONS
<bank-id> This is the Bankleitzahl (bank routing id), actually it is the account-id of that particular bank at the Deutsche Bundesbank. <account-id> This is the account number you wish to verify. If the checksum method of the bank specified by the <bank-id> is supported, you will get the account-id verified, i.e. if it is a valid account-id at that particular bank. --returncode If given, the result is returned via the returncode and no output on the terminal. The following returncodes are possible: 0: account and bank are ok 1: unknown, e.g. checksum not implemented or such 2: account and/or bank not ok 3: bank not found --file=<datafile> Specifies the file with the bankdata. This file can be obtained via the internet from the Deutsche Bundesbank on address http://www.bundesbank.de/zahlungsverkehr/zahlungsverkehr_bankleitzahlen_download.php Beware! This page is in German only. BUGS
No bugs are known at this time. Only certain checksum algorythms are supported as of now, so please don't complain if you always get "unknown" as return value. AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Jens Gecius <jens@gecius.de> for the Debian GNU/Linux system. Authors of ktoblzcheck are Fabian Kaiser <fabian@openhbci.de> and Christian Stimming <stimming@tuhh.de>. August 3, 2003 KTOBLZCHECK(1)
