Using a 9 digit version will introduce better precision if the information is used in later analysis but only for geographic locations that have those extended zip codes. The trouble in using the standard zip codes is that you might be eliminating international connections. Combine the country code with the zip might be a better idea. For example, Philadelphia is 01-19144 and Malmoe, Sweden would be 46-21221. Magnus Mengelbier email: magnusm@maths.lth.se, magnusm@ibm.net
