I've used http://www.zip-codes.com/zip-code-database.asp on several projects. zip_code | city | state | time_zone | day_light_savings ----------+---------+-------+-----------+------------------- 98501 | OLYMPIA | WA | 8 | Y -philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
