I had tried doing this a few months back, and noticed that the geocoder
scripts gave many errors, even with the latest CVS version of the
geocoder- I assumed that one of the record formats had changed. I also
couldn't find any new "old format" FIPS data. And to top it off, I ran
clean out of disk space. So I gave up for then on getting anything more
accurate than my 2005 version (that I posted here).

Did you have to make any changes to the geocoder source code to run these?

Thanks guys!
