That's really good to hear. I'd thoroughly encourage you to run your code against older releases again for a more thorough test. I found some interesting corner cases. (There may well be some aspects of old data that you don't want to support of course, but that's a different matter. Noda Time 2.0 is currently in sync with zic from 1996 data releases onwards.) I may add another flag to allow the user to omit the name from each line - I suspect that without the names, the output for Java 8, Joda Time and ICU4J would be *close* to zic. (It may make more sense to just chop each line at the right position, of course - that's an advantage of your scheme...) Jon
