But, it might not be recommended... :)Back about 2 years ago, my business partner and I wrote a WebCat template, using TCPConnect, that connected (over and over) to the USPS website, and extracted the zipcode, city, and state one at a time with the Middle context. We set up the template for a 10,000 zipcode range, and spawned it off ten times. It did not seem to have an appreciable performance hit on either our server, or the USPS server. But it did take 5 hours to complete. I think it finished up at about 5 am. I thought maybe we would get a visit from some law enforcement agency for 100,000 hits to a government server over a 5 hour time frame, but nothing ever happened.I have not updated my list since then, however. :)Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
