It's just scratch code that hasn't been cleaned up. I'll need to make sure the information is urlEncoded in the end. Anyway, I hope it'll be useful for you.

Do you mean you'd like to find the distance between the two zip codes? If so, I'd recommend you check out geocoder. http://geocoder.us/help/city_state_zip.shtml you can get the lat/lon for a zip, like this: http://geocoder.us/service/csv/geocode?zip=75034 so if you get it for both zips and then calculate it with the great circle equation, Robert's your father's brother. http://geocoder.us/blog/2006/04/21/calculating-distances/ ************** Ken Ferguson 214.636.6126 ************** -----Original Message----- From: Turetsky, Seth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 10:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: postal code webservice Does anyone know a reliable site to lookup zip codes, more specifically I want to look up the difference between two?
