Nifty. I wonder what input methods OS folks will stick on the front of that. Probably not many of the general public can reel off their geographical coordinates, numerically, to within a degree. (But then this code doesn't require the input to be accurate even as coarsely as a degree.)
Thank you, this looks useful. However, I believe that ISO 6709 allows several variations, including:
I think tzselect only needs to handle the forms actually seen in zone.tab. The format notes at the top of zone.tab explicitly limit it to two of the formats that ISO 6709 permits. (Still would be *nice* to handle all ISO 6709 cases, and, separately, even nicer to detect unsupported/invalid formats.) -zefram
