I'd posted this link yesterday on the geographic search engine thread,
but it has not appeared.

I've added the GB_POSTAREA table with some 3000 primary postal area
entries, all with XY coordinates which can be used on www.multimap.com
(See the notes in the DATA_INDEX for details on how to use - getting to
them will give you exercise on ibWebAdmin ;) )
Also added last night is an old US_ZIPCODE table - it's a start.
The object of the archive is to build a database of useful information
such as post codes, states, towns/cities, and the like - all running on
PHP of cause, into a Firebird database.
Feel free to forward any additional information you have for inclusion ;)
