If you are looking up EDI field sizes, UN/EDIFACT standards might be a
better fit here, since we are talking about shipments anywhere in the
world...

(back from vacation)

Any chance the ANSI X.12 EDI manuals may help?  Not a bad reference for 
building field sizes.  (Providing you're VARYING phobic).

Can someone enlighten me on international postal standards like max
size/format of zipcodes? 
country codes or names?
number/size of address lines?
is there a website to point to?

old system has 2 address lines of 25 characters, and a 5 char zip, and
users need relief. Can ship anywhere. tia jim
