FWIW, I have a handler that feeds the address to Google Maps and then
parses the HTML to extract the 5-digit zip code. Takes less than a
second unless the traffic is high. I'm pretty good at text parsing but
know very little about XML and GET/POST commands -- I had to look
around to find a webpage that I could post the address using straight
HTML rather than Java or SQL or whatever, and Google Maps was it. Only
a 5-digit zip, though.

At the USPS web site (http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/) it is possible by
entering the street address, the city and the state to obtain the 9
digit zip code for that address.
This may be naive, but is it possible to do this from within
LiveCode by script?
