Re: international postal standards

Jim,

This should be listed somewhere. Don't kmow myself, because I have not had to 
find this out myself.

For UK the max length is 8 in the format XXXX YYY.
For the Netherlands the fixed length is 7, format XXXX YY.

I found a "Microsoft Subsidiary Information" (excusez les mots) sheet on my 
desk with the addresses of their affiliates worldwide. Such an addresslist may 
give you some indication.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
