I've actually written one in the past but it's been eons ago and I have no chance of remembering where it is. I guess really all I need is for someone to point me to a location where I can grab a table of zips.
if you have the code to do the actual location bit, that'd be nice too

. If not, I'm sure I can rewrite it relatively quickly.

Sweet. I have a table (a convoluted one with all kinds of excess zips [planned ones, I think]). But it's good to find a free source. Thanks for the post Burr.
yum-jelly had posted a link to his site in
this thread that had some pretty cool distance/radius seach and output. But he seemed to have vanished

I know could be taken as taking this off topic but has anyone looked into google maps for this kind of stuff ?

Seems google maps would only be useful after you have the results.

The Google Maps API is pretty large and covers quite a bit of stuff. I have their 39 page manual printed out at work. It has a lot of functionality, just not sure if it handles point-to-point calculations.
