betatzcodeb.tar.gz is now on elsie.nci.nih.gov; the difference is a change to tzfile.h, the need for which was spotted by Earl Chew <earl(a)hpato.aus.hp.com>. A diff is attached. --ado SCCS/s.tzfile.h: 7.5 vs. 7.6 *** 7.5/tzfile.h Fri Jan 13 19:14:26 1995 --- 7.6/tzfile.h Fri Jan 13 19:14:27 1995 *************** *** 16,22 **** #ifndef lint #ifndef NOID ! static char tzfilehid[] = "@(#)tzfile.h 7.5"; #endif /* !defined NOID */ #endif /* !defined lint */ --- 16,22 ---- #ifndef lint #ifndef NOID ! static char tzfilehid[] = "@(#)tzfile.h 7.6"; #endif /* !defined NOID */ #endif /* !defined lint */ *************** *** 95,101 **** #define TZ_MAX_TYPES 256 /* Limited by what (unsigned char)'s can hold */ #endif /* !defined NOSOLAR */ #ifdef NOSOLAR ! #define TZ_MAX_TYPES 10 /* Maximum number of local time types */ #endif /* !defined NOSOLAR */ #endif /* !defined TZ_MAX_TYPES */ --- 95,105 ---- #define TZ_MAX_TYPES 256 /* Limited by what (unsigned char)'s can hold */ #endif /* !defined NOSOLAR */ #ifdef NOSOLAR ! /* ! ** Must be at least 14 for Europe/Riga as of Jan 12 1995, ! ** as noted by Earl Chew <earl(a)hpato.aus.hp.com>. ! */ ! #define TZ_MAX_TYPES 20 /* Maximum number of local time types */ #endif /* !defined NOSOLAR */ #endif /* !defined TZ_MAX_TYPES */

Timezone lat/lon boundaries?
by hagberg＠bigdog.engr.arizona.edu 09 Jan '95

Do you know of a source, commercial or otherwise, or lat/lon boundaries of timezones? I have an application that would be considerably improved if, given the lat/lon of a size, the timezone and DST calculations could be made. If it matters, I currently only need this for the US, but it would be nice to include some world timezones as well. Thanks for your help. Please email replies to dhagberg(a)gds.com. -=- D. J.

betatzcode.tar.gz and betatzdata.tar.gz
by ado 06 Jan '95

06 Jan '95

The files betatzcode.tar.gz and betatzdata.tar.gz are now available for anonymous ftp from elsie.nci.nih.gov. The data files use new features to allow common handling of EC countries; the code files have been delinted, along with elimination of no-longer-needed (I hope!) support for systems and compilers without some POSIX stuff. (Sufficient support for off-the-shelf SunOS 4.1.1 remains.) Any and all feedback most welcome; in particular let me know if I've overstepped or understepped on code pruning. I trust that "tzcode95a.tar.gz" and "tzdata95a.tar.gz" can be put in place some time before the end of the month, while "classictzcode.tar.gz" and "classictzdata.tar.gz" will remain in place. Many thanks to Paul Eggert for a passle of delinting and data corrections! --ado
