Hello, TZ, In: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tz-link.html I read: The tz code and data support leap seconds via an optional "right" configuration, ... Empirically, this seems to assume time_t of TAI-10. This isn't GPS, which I understand to be TAI-19: http://www.bipm.org/utils/en/pdf/time_ann_rep/Time_annual_report_2015/25_utc... TAI-10 is (accidentally?) the epoch of the IBM z/OS TOD clock. I find a couple references to "zoneinfo/right" in Makefile and NEWS. Is there more complete documentation of "right" and its rationale elsewhere? Thanks, gil
