Hello, ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2001c.tar.gz file "africa" reports that: # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18): # In 1972 Liberia was the last country to switch # from a UTC offset that was not a multiple of 15 minutes. However, file "australasia" gives: Zone Pacific/Kiritimati -10:29:20 - LMT 1901 -10:40 - LINT 1979 Oct # Line Is Time -10:00 - LINT 1995 14:00 - LINT Unless I missed something, -10:40 isn't a multiple of 15 minutes, and 1979 is more recent than 1972 (the Republic of Kiribati is a country). A relatively minor point... Best regards, Bruce Lilly
