Clive D.W. Feather scripsit:
uses the UN geographic codes whenever ISO duplicates a code, since unlike the ISO codes, the UN codes are stable.
Except when they aren't. Like Ethiopia or Panama.
They are not stable in the sense of never changing. They are stable in the sense of never being reassigned, unlike both the 2-alphas and the 3-alphas. -- Some people open all the Windows; John Cowan wise wives welcome the spring jcowan@reutershealth.com by moving the Unix. http://www.reutershealth.com --ad for Unix Book Units (U.K.) http://www.ccil.org/~cowan (see http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/unix3image.gif)
