[OT] Standard country codes/names, where to get them?

["Erich L. Markert" <em...@pace.edu>]

I remember being able to download a text file (I think from W3C) that
contained a listing of international standard country names and codes
much like the U.S. Postal Service does for states.  I was able to find
an HTML document linked from W3C's web site but no text file.

Does anyone know a location that I can download a plain text version of
this from?

TIA.

Much thanx to all those who wrote... The cleanest list I found was the
one Steve pointed out...

Hmmm. I don't recall from where I got it.  I recall it being an ISO
standard document.  But all I have left of it is a Perl module that
just defines a hash mapping the country code to its full name.  It's
only 6k long, so if anyone wants it, I'll post it.

I guess you could recreate the text file from it easily enough ;-)
