Date: Mon, 25 May 1998 16:22:13 -0400 From: Dee Ann Abel <dee@burbs.com> I use the time zone database developed by this group in my time zone converter (http://www.burbs.com/cgi-bin/tzconvert.pl). I refer to it in the help files for the converter as the "NIH database" but that isn't really right. How should I refer to this database? I usually refer to it as the ``tz database''. Sometimes I prefix it with ``public domain'' and/or ``Olson''. I don't know that it has an official name, but its originator Arthur David Olson might have an opinion. Through this I expect that from time to time I will receive reports like this one, below. I thought I'd forward them on to this list so that they could either be explained or addressed. It might be helpful to filter out the ones that you know are obviously bogus, or which you can't decipher yourself. That particular one was on the bogus side. I'll send a reply separately to its originator and to you, and not bother the rest of the tz list with it. It will definitely be helpful to send the juicy reports on to the tz list, but I'd guess most responses will need to be filtered.
