Hi Sannan, > What I'm really shooting to find is a resource that has zipcodes > (preferably ranges of zip codes) with City/State/County information for > each zip (or range of zips).

The only free resource that I know of the US Postal Service's WebTools. with WebTools, you can create an XML request and send it to the USPS web server. In that request, you send a zip code, and it returns the city and state) (You can do other things, like find a zip code based on the address, etc) It would be possible to invoke this request from an RPG program using HTTPAPI, my open source HTTP software for RPG programmers. You can find it here: http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/ In fact, I may do a session on that at RPG World (http://www.rpgworld.com) though, we haven't made that decision yet. (I really need to talk to them and sort that out, I'm running out of time!) Anyway... that's the only free resource that I'm aware of. If you find something else, please clue me in :)
