• Address Object. This allows a programmer to standardize the format of a U.S. Postal Service address; resolve data inconsistencies; add ZIP+4, carrier route and delivery point codes to addresses; print the U.S. Postal Service Form 3553; and more.
  
  
• Canadian Address Object. This is an add-on for Address Object that allows a programmer to verify, correct, standardize, and enhance Canadian postal-service addresses. It’s also possible to get postal code, municipality, province, and time zone for an address.
  
  
• RBDI. This is an add-on for Address Object that allows a programmer to determine whether an address is a residential address or a business address. You can exploit this capability to identify shipping patterns, to allow customers to choose shipping methods & costs when placing an order for a product on your Web site, and to reduce residential-delivery surcharges.
  
  
• GeoCoder Object. This allows a programmer to get latitude/longitude based on a ZIP+4 code; it’s also possible to get census tract & block number, county name, and FIPS code. (What’s a FIPS code? Go to www.CitationSoftware.com/faqFIPScodes.htm to find out.)
  
  
• Presort Object. This allows a programmer to presort any list that has been processed with a current CASS Certified engine for ZIP+4 codes. (NOTE: Address Object contains a CASS Certified engine.)
  
  
• Phone Object. This enables a programmer to update U.S. and Canadian area codes that have "split," correct bad & missing area codes, and standardize telephone-number formats for consistency.
  
  
• Name Object. This allows a programmer to parse full names into five components, append a gender code based on first name, and catch vulgar words.
  
  
• Email Object. This allows a programmer to verify, correct, and standardize e-mail addresses. It can check for general syntax errors, parse e-mail addresses into various components, check for domain-name changes, check for and correct top-level domain names (TLDs), validate domain names against a database of known good & bad addresses, verify whether a domain name exists through the MaileXchange (MX) Lookup for real-time feedback, and more.

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

• For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
  
  
• Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
  
  Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. You would simply accept this.
  
  
• Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
  
  
• Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive — but would run on only five percent of the roads.
  
  
• The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
  
  
• The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
  
  
• Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
  
  
• Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
