KAMI, I've registered and downloaded the code and programs. Note that you do not have to be a US citizen to download, in fact the userguides are written by a Canadian firm. The USPS provides code & fonts for linux, windows, HP, Solaris, AS/400 etc. Sample routines & test samples, and user guides are provided. I'll send you an email off-list detailing each.
