I did a quick check on the census site and found the following file:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/zip1999.html
It is a zip file for the US from November of 1999. I don't know if Alison's
is newer or if this is the latest available.
The zip file is accompanied by a Word doc that explains the contents. The
data included is: 5 digit zip code, latitude, longitude, zip class, post
office name (city), state, and county.
I have not tried integrate the file into ebase. I would welcome others'
experiences on how this works. I did try to open the file on my Macintosh
with FileMaker 5, Excel, and Word. Word was the only one that would open it
(it's a DBF file). From Word there should be a straightforward path to
having the data made e-base-accessible (i.e. saving as comma delimited, tab
delimited or as an Excel spreadsheet for direct importing into e-base).
