last time i looked, yes, it carries about its own copy. (which is either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it.) see, for example: http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/data/trunk/tzdata/icunew/ On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 09:37, Thom Hehl <Thom@pointsix.com> wrote:

if you don't know what you're doing, you're probably better served by icu4c. they have APIs similar to the Java ones, but for C and C++.****

(i assume you don't want Java because if you did, you could just use the built-in stuff.)****

Can someone please explain to me how to read the binary files and turn it into timezone information?****

All I need to do is write a function that will take a UTC date and convert it into a timezone with a name that I specify and convert it back again. (I understand there are precision issues with the last one.)****

The code is not commented and I can find no documents.****

Please, I beg you, help me.****
