Thanks to folks for feedback on time zone abbreviation changes.
Below find revised changes reflecting the feedback.
The changes are relative to what's now available in the ftp directory.
The revisions:
1. the set of characters allowed in time zone abbreviations has been
expanded to include '.' (as in "E.S.T.") and '_'
(on general principles).
2. the character substituted for those outside the approved set has been
changed to '_' (a character which does not appear in any of the
abbreviations that currently appear in the time zone data files).
Regarding abbreviation lengths: I agree that some folks might want to use
abbreviations shorter than three letters (in particular the old-style
single-letter names for zones), so localtime.c is set up to allow fewer than
three. It also allows up to 16 (covering abbreviations such as
"XSTDST+hh:mm:ss" that Sun accepts). However, since the data files generated
by zic might end up being used on systems with stricter requirements, it seems
prudent to issue warnings (note: not errors) regarding short and long
abbreviations.
