I just uploaded a single file that contains every state and US territory. I'm not exactly sure how complete it is but it has over 180,000 cities and towns listed. A quick scan showed populations as low as 60 in some cases. Don't know Gerry's email address off hand to notify him, but it's in the incoming directory as 0pop_places.gnis and the file can be exploded by state using some basic shell scripting. If anyone wants me to explode it, I'll be happy to do so, I just figured I'd dump the whole file there first as a backup. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
