Although one is a street and one is a street address. You just don't know which. It's _likely_ that the more round number is the street, but without a street guide, you can't be 100% sure. For instance, an address like: 1105 E 4800 S is probably on the street "4800 S" But luckily, you don't need to worry about it unless you're trying to map things, since the coordinate statement _is_ the canonical form of the address. I miss coordinate addresses and a grid system. :) -Dave -- work: dga@lcs.mit.edu me: dga@pobox.com MIT Laboratory for Computer Science http://www.angio.net/
