Gwillim, I'm curious how you produced these HTML files?
Manually. I started by taking a copy of tzdata2000h and editing it with a text editor. Several reasons for this: I wanted to get a feel for the data; to experiment with different ways of organizing them; to capture whatever useful information I could find in the comments; and to spot any inconsistencies or holes in the data. There are plenty of applications where it makes sense to automate the process, but I think it should be done manually at least once. Yours, Gwillim Law
