Well believe it or not the above address will work fine. When the Canadian Post Office designed our postal code they used a very small resolution. Typically down to a large building in a commercial area or a few blocks in a residential area. So given postal code and street address it's highly likely that the post office can deliver it. (Assuming of course that we are not in the middle of a work slow down, during which time the inside postal workers try and ignore postal codes which they claim are an attempt to reduce their staffing levels .. but that's more of an issue for comp.risks!) For those who don't trust the Canadain Post Office I can say that Norsat is based in Surrey, British Columbia. -- Stuart.Lynne@wimsey.bc.ca {ubc-cs,uunet}!van-bc!sl Vancouver,BC,604-937-7532
