Out of curiosity (and perhaps for the good of the order), is there documentation on the format of tz binary files and, if so, where can it be found?
It's fully specified in the tzfile.5 manpage - I've also got a mostly independently (of tzcode's tzset) written "timezone file inspector" program that I've been meaning to post on the list one of these days, which may or may not be helpful.
The definition in the tzfile.5 manpage isn't written very formally. It's kind of loose. One really needs to grok the TZ C code to get the details of the layout. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd. E-mail: <abbotti@mev.co.uk> )=- -=( Tel: +44 (0)161 477 1898 FAX: +44 (0)161 718 3587 )=-
