Greetings!

    I'm interested in looking for *NIX packages that will convert
US mail addresses to the format required by the Post Office. Source
would be nice, but binary is acceptable.  We run Interactive 386/IX
and a BSD 4.3 derived *NIX (the 4.3 is, sadly, not long for this
world). I need two things: first, a way to convert our existing
addresses, and then, a way to do it interactivly.  We can handle
most any interface between our software and the package (if it
supports one).

    I'm also looking for soundex algorithms.  I seems to me that a
source package went by on the net a while back, but (of course) I
didn't save it.

    Any source, leads, rumors, pointers, dereferences, or large
pieces of chocolate would be appreciated.

    I know the packages are out there; I can hear the cash registers
even now (Ching!).

                                            Thanks Muchly,
                                            Danny
