Hi > Please note the ISO3166 statement: > names of countries and their subdivisions
yes, clearly. the original question was, yesterday, where to get a list of countries for a 'person' fill-out form, for example, for posting and packaging, i assume. All national postal organizations in the world exchange international mail between them in containers carrying ISO 3166-1 codes In machine-readable passports the three letter code of ISO 3166-1 is used to determine the nationality of the user (ISO/IEC 7501-1) Currencies are identified by a code based on the ISO 3166-1 which identifies them in international transactions (ISO 4217) The Internet domain name sytems uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes to define country-coded Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) etc,etc. so I still think ISO 3166 is the best list for the job :) $3c and rising, *pike _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
