Re: Using tz as linked libraries

Has anybody had any success linking to the libraries and using these functions?  Any sample programs that illustrate this?

Sure: the date.c program (which is part of the tz code) links to the strftime etc. functions defined by the other modules. So you can think of date.c as a "sample program".

Also, is it better to build this under Cygwin or use MS VC++ to compile?

It should work either way. I've never used either system, though, so I can't say for sure. I can confirm that it works well under both GNU/Linux and Solaris.
