Re: Is there a black box for name & addresses

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No black box, but I do try and stick to large enough fields for US Postal 
Standards in their Publication 28, (50 char fields), plus a UN standardized 
country code, and alpha zip code, add phone(big enough for international), 
cell, fax, email, and time zone. plus unlimited comments.
Postal software checks help to standardize the address and fix
city name spellings and add zip+4 if usa.
