At

we find:

	National Address Server

	Do you have an address whose ZIP+4 Code you would like to
	determine? Are you too busy to go to the Post Office and look it
	up manually? If so, then this is the service for you! Just enter
	the address below, and our server will attempt to rewrite the
	address in the proper format along with the ZIP+4 code, if
	possible.  And if we get a successful match, you will be able to
	retrieve a Postscript file for printing, with a barcode!
	(Remember: using barcodes can greatly speed up the delivery of
	your mail!)

	The server does intelligent processing to match the address,
	rather than a grep.  For example, given this address:

	               Marv Levy
	               1 Bills Road
	               Orchard Park, NY

	it responds with:

	               MARV LEVY 
	               1 BILLS DR
	               ORCHARD PARK NY  14127-2237

	Enter the address below:


		+------------------------------------+              
		|				     |                          
		|    [text box into which you	     |
		|      type an address               |
		|				     |                          
		+------------------------------------+              

	    [Process this Address]	      [Clear the Form]

	This service is maintained by Ajay Shekhawat.  Please feel free
	to send me suggestions, feedback, comments, etc.!
