[bit.listserv.sas-l] zip ---> county

    Thanks to all who replied so quickly to my request for help.  The next
time my supervisor asks why I spend time monitoring SAS-L, I'll have a
good answer!  Several respondents indicated the existence of various
data sets compiled by the Census Bureau or the Postal Service.  The
D-103 Zipcode/County Conversion Data Set that is available from SAS Inst.
for $55 is what I'll be using.  Although we appear not to have the most
recent version here, I did manage to find an old copy stored with our
obsolete versions of SAS.  While this data set would probably not be
adequate for many purposes, it should work fine for me (with a little
manual intervention here and there on the part of the client).  Thanks
again.
