I would prefer to have the sources for these timezone files in case the daylight savings rules are changed again! Does anyone know where the human-readable formats of the timezone files are, and where the utility that converts them into the binary formats is? (I know these exist for Sun workstations, but how about for Linux?) Thanks! db...@canb.auug.org.au
