Anyone who can help, please.
You could get a live CD <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCD>, say Knoppix <http://knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html>, boot that, and run its zic and zdump implementations on the files in question. Or you can use its C compiler to compile tzcode, and then use the resulting programs. Knoppix runs on just about any PC hardware, doesn't affect what's on your hard disk, and it's free. Other popular Live CD distributions include Ubuntu (they will ship you a live CD for free) <http://www.ubuntu.com/>, SLAX <http://slax.linux-live.org/>, and PCLinuxOS <http://www.pclinuxos.com/>. There are also live CD distributions for FreeBSD (e.g., <http://livebsd.com/>), Solaris (<http://schillix.berlios.de/>), etc. Any of these should do for your purpose. But probably the GNU/Linux live CDs will be the least porting hassle. If this all seems too daunting for you, I suggest that you give Mike Coleman a call. He works at the Stowers Institute, which is near nkch.org, and can perhaps give you help with a live CD and/or other consulting help. See <http://www.mathdogs.com/people/mkc/>. Good luck!
