You can find copies of the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency's list of country codes at: http://www.iana.org/country-codes.txt ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/iso-3166.txt ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes And you can refer to the ISO's site for a reference to the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency. http://www.iso.ch/infoe/agency/3166-1.htm "A number of International Standards developed by ISO technical committees require, with a view to their updating or implementation, a competent body which has the requisite infrastructure for ensuring the effective use of these international agreements. These bodies are designated by ISO to serve as maintenance agencies or registration authorities." Steve Huter -------- Logged at Mon Sep 14 20:45:05 MET DST 1998 ---------
