I have seen a list of netblock => country code, but I cannot put my hand on it immediately. It is very coarse and will be wrong for some clients. It is probably more wrong than right. Anyone who claims otherwise is selling something.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
