Re: Nine digit zip code

Bob and Pete, Thanks for bringing this issue up. Some years back the USPS's web site made it much easier to do batch process of addresses. When they changed it to make it more difficult, I wrote a letter to the Postmaster General. (Yes, I know, really stupid.) I suggested that they might

Re: Nine digit zip codes

Yep, makes sense, especially if they sell those zip+4 lists. Kind of related, has anyone had any experience with selecting zip codes based on a given zip code and a radius from it? A mailing list I use has that feature to target newsletters and would be a handy function to have. I'm guess

Right, but not a lot from one place. I think their acceptable use would be under 30 or 40 hits a day from one IP, but if they get thousands, I think someone might contact you. They have some kind of published Acceptable Use policy on the site don't they? If not, then I guess you are in the clear

Good idea, but it got thrown back with an error. It's not a valid SQL statement, just something the tcl/c api understands I think. Not a big deal though, it's pretty easy to set that timeout loop in within LC. Pete Haworth On Nov 30, 2010, at 12:05 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: Did you try to is

Those were AWESOME computers for their day. They were incredibly reliable. We bought a bunch to replace the old terminal based system we had, where a bus box driven by a 286 based PC had 16 8086 based circuit cards running DOS and driving ANSI terminals. We ran SBT compiled under Foxpro for DOS.
