Yes, CD Light is a company which sells various repackaged versions of the postal services data. The file xu_8_p292_license.txt in the packages\Kernel - XU directory mentions an enterprise license is necessary to use the data and basically each site needs to procure one.
The foia kids file for patch 292 didn't include the data. (of course!) But someone out there has written the routines necessary to take the CD Light CD's data and bring it into vista. Then, it looks like the data is exported through a kids file to the sites. I'm looking for those routines - I'm hoping not to write them myself. Having an interface to the postal service data has been a project we have wanted to pursue for some time. Our front desk and lab people enter lots of addresses in very creative ways and we have to spend time to clean them up...

(Was Hospital Cost analysis) Is "CD Light" a provider of zip+4 numbers? I would think that they would be in .xls spreadsheet format, which can be imported with fileman routines.

The foia version stripped out the data but the license txt file mentioned the company CD Light and what proper version of the license to purchase. I'm curious - what is the mechanism for taking CD Light's data and getting into the proper files? Is there a hidden routine in the foia version for doing this? Thanks upfront for any information anyone can provide!
