That's the same one I've been using but it won't accept address input or even
coordinate inputs. Any chance you can give it a try and see if it works for
you? Just for giggles see if Mocksville NC comes up.

Even if you push back as Travis suggested, the following can help you keep your
tools sharp.
Go here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/designmaps/usdesign.php
And click "Use the Application".
Input the design code and soil classification.
For the lat/long coordinates, use the map to zero in on the site. The map
tells you the decimal degrees for each. Add a "-" before the longitudinal
degrees.
Click "Compute Values".
It produces pretty slick summary and detailed reports.

Where are you guys getting the Ss values for your seismic calc's. I've been
using (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/designmaps/) but recently it won't
input the coordinates based on the city and state anymore. I used to use one
that worked based on zip code but that doesn't work anymore either. Maybe it's
a computer setting?
