I guess under normal situations your work would go unheralded - when things are going right no one notices. It's only when your car breaks down that you look under the bonnet (hood). I'm hoping I have found an opportunity to give a little (very little) back. We in Australia have been taking a keener-than-usual interest in tz stuff with the advent of the Olympic Games. So, naturally, I eventually found myself downloading from your website. I look after several different platforms (Solaris, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, etc). It soon became clear to me that something was missing. I felt that, it's all very well to make changes to the timezone database; how do I test that the changes will work? And there's the rub. It's not the time now that is at issue. One can immediately confirm that the time right now is correct. What I want to know is, Will it be correct at some time in the future? To address this issue, I have written a little utility, cvt_time. I enclose source, Makefile and man page. I have chosen to store it in the 'misc' subdirectory of the 'src' directory. It is enclosed as a tar, gzip, uuencode. If you think it is worthwhile, please feel free to distribute it or make it available in any way you see fit. Regards, Henry begin 660 misc.tar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
