I have a clock (actual hw clock) which uses ntp by way of an embedded mips board running a version of openwrt. It lack the ram and storage to use tzdb. So I have to use EST5EDT,M3.2.0/2:00:00,M11.1.0/2:00:00 for the timezone. (The explicit /2:00:00 might be avoidable, but the use of self documenting data can be beneficial.) I mention aix above because their docs were the top of the search results when I needed a reminder of the details of non-Olson syntax. It had, of course, been more than a decade since I'd last used or even seen EST5EDT anywhere before I had to work out the above. (I must say it was a bit anoying that the library kept the original definition of EST5EDT et alia rathar than moving with the legislation. But only a bit.) -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: https://jhcloos.com/0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6.asc
