Hi Ted,
   <<<<<<< PLUG ALERT!  (I think?) >>>>>>>>

    In a former life we looked at and were purchasing the PostalSoft
Libraries and software for doing just this with the SRN IRIS package's
databases!  It worked well and ran on the 3k.... within the POSIX
environment I believe.

   You can find PostalSoft on the web (www.postalsoft.com I think) and SRN
at www.srn.com (they usually sell these libraries as a VAR To their IRIS
clients.

Note: I make no claims to how hard this stuff is to install or keep
running... I changed jobs the day the tapes arrived :) hehehehe

Greetings,
  Not sure where I would look for this, so I'm asking y'all.  If I should
have
looked somewhere, please point me in the right direction and accept my
apologies for the wasted bandwidth.
  I'm looking for 3000 software which will take in US (non-US would also be
nice, particularly Canadian) addresses, check the ZIP+4 (postal code for
Canada) and hand me back an address which has all the appropriate
capitalization , abbreviations, punctuation (or lack thereof) and so forth.
In
particular, it would be nice to have it be a library call so that I can
hook it
into my programs, but that's not absolutely vital.
  There are a number of Micro$oft/Macintosh/Un*x solutions out there, but
I'm
not sure where to look for one for the 3K.
Thanks,
Ted

          ==========================================================
Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. That is that
entire universe is made of matter, obviously. And matter is made of
particles. It's made of electrons and neutrons and protons. So the entire
universe is made out of particles. Now what are the particles made out of?
They're not made out of anything. The only thing you can say about the
reality of an electron is to cite its mathematical properties. So there's a
sense in which matter has completely dissolved and what is left is just a
mathematical structure.
