But,it might not be recommended... :)Back about 2 years ago, my business partner and I wrote a WebCat template, usingTCPConnect, that connected (over and over) to the USPS website, and extracted thezipcode, city, and state one at a time with the Middle context. We set up thetemplate for a 10,000 zipcode range, and spawned it off ten times. It did not seemto have an appreciable performance hit on either our server, or the USPS server.But it did take 5 hours to complete. I think it finished up at about 5 am. Ithought maybe we would get a visit from some law enforcement agency for 100,000hits to a government server over a 5 hour time frame, but nothing ever happened.I have not updated my list since then, however. :)Dennis-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
