There are 8 Zip codes withing a 5 miles radius of 05701
They are:
05251 Dorset, VT 0.85 miles
05701 Rutland, VT 0.00 miles
05702 Rutland, VT 0.00 miles
05736 Center Rutland, VT 2.59 miles
05744 Florence, VT 3.57 miles
05759 North Clarendon, VT 2.13 miles
05765 Proctor, VT 4.57 miles
05777 West Rutland, VT 3.57 miles
Dorset is a lot more than 0.85 miles. It's really about 25 street miles.
The program uses longevity and latitude from a commercial zip
code database. It calculates the great circle distance between two sets
of coordinates. The supplied coordinates could be wrong for Dorset or
Rutland. Do the airline distances to the other locations seem
reasonable?
I'm not sure how the database determines the coordinates for
a specific zip, I would hope they are for the geographic center of
the zip code but I don't know.
If anyone is interested in this program contact me off list.
I have a version of this program that will display the distance from
a given zip code to all the countries and the great distance for any
country in the world.

one of us may be getting caught in a filter.
