It might take a bit, but I could probably do it. If not, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for a person to do it by hand. As you mentioned, it's only the ones in unincorporated areas, where the county sets the limits. My thought was that if I was able to get it working for this small set, then getting a larger set wouldn't be much more work (once you can convert the raw data into something useful for merging).
I've joined the imports-us list and will introduce myself there shortly. :-) Dave On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 02:37:08PM -0800, Tod Fitch wrote: > Looking at that PDF, it is not obvious to me how to script the data for mass > input.
