Does anyone remember when zone.tab was added to the distribution? I wrote an application to use it more than ten years ago. FreeBSD users have long been asked to select among:
east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc. Heilongjiang (except Mohe), Jilin central China - Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Guizhou, etc. most of Tibet & Xinjiang west Tibet & Xinjiang
