Hello list,
I am also a Timezone newbie.
I need to get a dump of the tz database for all countries in the world, which timezone they are in, and what date they switch on/off DST. I’m not interested in getting real time dates; I just need a refresh of the database periodically.
You can download the tz database at http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm . Mostly for my own benefit, I wrote a little paper about how to read tz's source files: http://www.cstdbill.com/tzdb/db.html . Hope that helps, --Bill
