Subject: [RBASE-L] - SOT: zip codes

I am investigating on how to find the nearest zip code from another zip code
based on distance. I am working on a dealer locator solution.

I was wondering if anybody else has done this in Rbase. I am thinking there
is an additional data field needed to determine the physical location(maybe
latitude and longitude??). I am not sure.

I know there are hosted solutions but I am looking for an in house solution
to save some $$$.

TIA

Dan Goldberg
