Here are some proposed patches to the tz database, notably to bring it up to date with recent political events: * Hong Kong is now part of China, and Zaire has been renamed Democratic Republic of Congo. These changes don't affect most programs; they just change commentary and tables accessed by tzselect. * Correct the DST changeover times in Albania from 1985 through 1990, as reported in the new edition of Shanks. (Expect more corrections in the future; I haven't had time to read Shanks's new edition past the A's yet.) * Correct several errors in the Belgian entries before 1944. Thanks to Pascal Delmoitie <pascal@belnet.be> for the new data. * Add Eric Ulevik <eau@ozemail.com.au>'s comments about NSW's plans to change clocks for the 2000 Olympics. * Rework WWW.htm to be more HTML-friendly. Add several sites, and update some obsolete references. Also, it'd be nice if WWW.htm could be available as a separate file; this would make it easier to give a URL to people interested in tz data. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/WWW.htm,v retrieving revision 1997.5 retrieving revision 1997.5.1.3 diff -c -r1997.5 -r1997.5.1.3 *** WWW.htm 1997/05/03 22:52:34 1997.5 --- WWW.htm 1997/07/16 13:09:11 1997.5.1.3 *************** *** 2,109 **** <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> !
