Another possibility is to change the spelling of... 24:00 ...to... 23:59:60 ...which works with any version of zic issued 1988 or later.

Back in 1998 zic was tweaked to accept 24:00 in "AT" fields; my guess is that the version of zic being used predates that change. (If the vendor hasn't stripped things and you're on a POSIX system, you can do a... what /path/to/the/executable/zic ...to get a version number; anything under 7.94 lacks the tweak; anything beyond 7.95 has the tweak.) Mindful of folks with old compilers, it may be best to change the northamerica file to avoid use of 24:00, changing the "lastSat 24:00" references to "lastSun 0:00". (And perhaps using zic should generate warning messages if a 24:00 shows up and zic's -v option has been used.) --ado -----Original Message----- From: Diane Kledzik [mailto:Diane_Kledzik@notes.ntrs.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 12:52 PM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Cc: eggert(a)twinsun.com Subject: compile errors on timezone database As an fyi, I receive compile errors when I compile (using "zic") the time zone database downloaded in the tzdata2003d.tar file from your ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ site.
