Thanks for doing that! A couple of minor comments. First, the existing database uses "Apr<tab>25" and "Apr<tab><space>9" rather than "Apr<space>25" and "Apr<space><space>9". Also, it'd be a bit handier to input a range of dates rather than a single date.
I have made both fixes/changes and put the resultant module (every though the law has not yet passed) in: ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/software/dst-israel.el
I used your program to write the following draft patch. I don't think this should go into the tz database just yet (Israeli politics being what they are) but I thought you might like to see the draft.
You have a good understanding of the volatility of Israeli politics.
Thanks again.
My pleasure. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Phone number: 972-2-6585521 Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. Fax number: 972-2-5617723 WWW: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~ephraim E-mail: ephraim@cse.huji.ac.il
