It's March Madness time for daylight-saving rule changes. Here's a proposed change to the tz database to keep up with the latest political development, which affects time stamps starting March 29: * Latvia and Lithuania will not observe DST, starting this year.

Time Zone App Beta
by Andre-Tascha Lamme 17 May '00

17 May '00

Hey all... A few days away from completing a Windows (32bit) app and accompanying ActiveX control for time zone stuff Need some testers to trash it for me. Please send me an email (andre-tascha.lamme(a)ironriver.com) if interested. (Let me know if you want the control or the app) Basic specs on the app/ActiveX: - Have approximately 28,000 locations (cities, etc.) - Each location is based on a Region (e.g. Asia), Country (ISO3166-1) and a Country's regional info (ISO3166-2) if applicable. Each location has GMTOffset and standard DST info (if observes, the dates and amounts of offset). - In the app, one can browse or search through locations and add them to actives (i.e. for display). - Can add new locations (still debating whether or not I want to deal with allowing folks to send me their additions). - Can add people identifiers and assign them to existing locations. (Allows you to see what time it is where "Aunt Mathilda" is, rather than just generic "Providence, Rhode Island"). - Can set alarms/reminders to go off as of the specified time for a target location (i.e. Aunt Mathilda wants you to call her at 15:00 her time) - Any other suggestions? thanks... Andre'-Tascha

Are there any standards (like ISAO country codes) for time zones? eg we use GMT = Greenwich Mean Time CTE = Central European Time EST = Eastern Standard Time But we need others.
