A VERONICA search turns up several locations for the ISO list of country
codes. One that seems to be up to date is located at Stanford:
sumex-aim.Stanford.EDU
file name:
internet-country-codes.txt
The document includes two and three character codes and a list of the
updates applied to the document. I have downloaded it and will send it
to anyone who emails a request to me. Arlene, I'm sending it to you
tonight. If you find a more up to date list, please let us all know.

I have a list, dating from 3 Feb 1993, which was posted to the Usenet groups
alt.internet.services, comp.mail.misc, comp.mail.uucp,
news.newusers.questions, and news.answers. It is maintained by
Olivier M.J. Crepin-Leblond (E-mail: ocl@ic.ac.uk).
Estonia is EE, Latvia LV, Lithuania is LT.
I don't see any indication of it's availability at an FTP site. Maybe someone
could write Mr. Crepin-Leblond and ask him.
If anyone needs the file urgently, I can send it E-mail upon request.
The list maintainer's disclaimer may be of interest:
"DISCLAIMER: while every effort is made to provide accurate information,
this list is not guaranteed to be accurate. This document is in NO WAY
an official document. The information given should not be used as a basis
for routing tables but only as general end-user information. This is a
voluntary effort. I would appreciate greatly if errors/omissions could
be pointed out to me and they would be corrected in the next release.

Hope this helps.

Arlene,
We have such a listing on our gopher. Use Minnesota's gopher and point to
Gettysburg College. Select Gettysburg Information/Computing
Services/Network Information menu sequence. There you will find a list of
international codes along with what type of net connectivity each country
has (in a rough way) - key is at top of table. Let me know if you have
any questions.

I've already dropped a note to Arlene, but here's how to get a
copy of the current list:
Set up to log the following conversation:
Telnet to nic.ddn.mil (192.112.36.5)
at the "@" prompt, enter "whois"
at the "Whois:" prompt, enter "root-dom"
(This specifies the top-level domain)
You will be asked if you want to see the "known domains" - answer yes
at the "Whois:" prompt, hit <return>
at the "@" prompt, enter "quit"
If your logging works, you will have the up-to-date list.
NOTE: This list does NOT specify the country; it specifies the "owner"
of each domain. For instance, "ZA", the domain for South Africa,
is listed as "UNINET Project". To get more information on a
particular domain, enter the domain name and "-dom" at the "Whois:"
prompt. (e.g., "za-dom" for more information on ZA)
If you cannot telnet to nic.ddn.mil, I can send you the current list;
contact me via email.

There is a list in the back of Krol's book _The Whole Internet User's
Guide & Catalog_. Being in a library, I can't get my hands on a copy
right now so I don't know how up to date it is. :-)

I'm not postive that ISO Country Codes map 1-1 to Internet high-level
Domains, but to get a current list of Domains, send the following e-mail
to: service@nic.ddn.mil
subject: whois dom *root
Expect overnight delivery
As far as a list of Country Codes, though not necessarily authoritative,
try sending mail to: listserv@bitnic.educom.edu with a simple body-of-
text message of
GET COUNTRY CODES
