The background is that I have added timezone support to our multi-platform application. To test our app on Windows, I used zoneinfo copied from a Fedora distribution, and I have 143 units tests that test time zones like 'right/America/Detroit', 'posix/America/Detroit', 'US/Eastern', and 'America/Detroit'. But when I run 'for f in *; do zic -d someOutputDir $f;done' on the latest data from iana.org, I get 'America/Detroit' but not 'right/America/Detroit', 'posix/America/Detroit', or 'US/Eastern'. How come? How are they generated on Linux OS's? Thanks -- Donald [|] A bad day in [] is better than a good day in {}
