The gzipped versions of the new data files are corrupt; the corruption appears to be introduced by gzip. So, for now, you'll find ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2002a.tar and ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002a.tar available for downloading until I figure out what's going on with gzip. Thanks to Bradley White for catching the problem! --ado

tzcode2002a.tar.gz and tzdata2002a.tar.gz
by Olson, Arthur David (NCI) Jan. 28, 2002

Jan. 28, 2002

The files ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2002a.tar.gz and ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002a.tar.gz are now available. These include the changes circulated on the time zone mailing list last week by Paul Eggert, an update to the "leapseconds" file to note that there'll be no leap second at the end of June, 2002, a change to "zic.c" to deal with a problem in handling the "Asia/Bishkek" zone, and a change to "difftime.c" to avoid sizeof problems. Changes to data for Argentina await settling of dust. --ado

Timezone Database
by Simon Crump Jan. 24, 2002

Jan. 24, 2002

Hi, I am a software developer in the UK and I am currently working on a project that requires me to normalise times from various timezones into GMT. Much searching of the internet leads me to the conclusion that your resource at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub is as close to a definitive timezone database as there is. Can you point to me to any resources that explain how to interpret and utilise this data? Thanks, > Simon Crump > RGS IT Consulting > 6th Floor, World Trade Centre > Exchange Quay > Manchester, M5 3EJ > UK > > www : www.rgsit.com > Email : simon.crump(a)rgsit.com > > CONFIDENTIAL > The information contained in this email and any attachment is > confidential.

proposed tz patch for Tonga, Thule, Kazakhstan, China, etc.
by Paul Eggert Jan. 14, 2002

Jan. 14, 2002

Here are some proposed patches to the tz database that I've been accumulating. I haven't had a chance to think through all my tz-related mail (sorry!) but Arthur David Olson wrote that he'd like to do a release soon, so here's what I have right now. * The Tonga daylight-saving rules seem to be systematic since November 2000, though these things are hard to predict. (Thanks to Rives McDow for this info.) * Thule uses American DST rules. (Thanks to Rives McDow for contacting someone at Thule about this, and for confirming some of the other Greenland info.) * Kazakhstan switches using the Russian rules, not at midnight. (Thanks to German Iofis for this.) Also, incorporate claims by Shanks about time zone changes in Kazakhstan in 1989, 1991, and 1992. This results in new zone entries Asia/Qyzylorda and Asia/Oral. * Use zone.tab comments that are less confusing for people in China. (Thanks to Anthony Fok for this.) * Use time zone abbreviations that are more historically accurate for pre-1980 time zones in China. (Thanks to Anthony Fok for this.) * Rename Asia/Macao to the more popular name Asia/Macau, with a backward compatibility link. (Thanks to Anthony Fok for this.) * Install tzselect, since we already install its man page. (Thanks to prj(a)po.cwru.edu for noting the problem.) * Update obsolete link in tz-link.htm. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/Makefile,v retrieving revision 2001.3 retrieving revision 2001.3.0.1 diff -pu -r2001.3 -r2001.3.0.1 --- Makefile 2001/06/05 17:48:21 2001.3 +++ Makefile 2002/01/14 23:01:02 2001.3.0.1 @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ TOPDIR= /usr/local TZDIR= $(TOPDIR)/etc/zoneinfo -# The "zic" and "zdump" commands get installed in. . . +# The "tzselect", "zic", and "zdump" commands get installed in. . .

Sorry, Elsie, Shanks and Astrodients, my only intention is help to correct an error that carries many years in yours databases, all for make the world of astrology much precise... I consult very much astrologers of argentina and all are sure between 1975 to 1987 There was not Dyalight Saving or another change in the official hour in Argentina, the Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires - is the office of the Argentina Government that makes the change of hours of the country - also told the same, because this I am almost totally sure the data in the email of yesterday is correct...

At first, thank you for your work. It is very important for us, astrologers. We decided to write you because we made part of an astrological discussion group called Ptolomeo. Some people wrote asking about Argentina timezones few weeks ago and all of the argentine astrologers told that 'Shanks, Elsie data and other english sources have errors'. So, Dra. Amelia Urbina, member of the group, has contacted the Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires and she got the following results. Please see the next images: >From Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires - Argentina: If you take a look at your data, Argentina have some DST periods from 1975 to 1987, but according to the Naval Observatory official data (and these have a total acceptance by the argentine astrologers), there was no time changes in these years, as shown below: Elsie data from tzdata2001d.tar.gz (with coincidence to Shanks data and his International Atlas): Rule Arg 1974 only - Jan 23 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1974 only - May 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1974 1976 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1975 1977 - Apr Sun>=1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1985 only - Nov 2 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1986 only - Mar 14 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1986 1987 - Oct 25 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1987 only - Feb 13 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1988 only - Feb 7 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1988 only - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 S However, at the Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires report we have for the same range of time: It's an official document from Argentina Naval Army, and I am quite totally sure those data are 100% trustful... I really hope this info could be useful for your very good job!! Have a nice day! From: Dra.
