Hey... I am working on a program that will display local times to locations right on a map. Anyway I have almost completed linking a database of 12000 locations with time offset and DST rule data. The only country left to do is Kazakhstan. The problem is that I don't know whether or not there are two or three time zones in Kazakhstan. The tz database states that there are three, but when I look at the latest CIA map (http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/reference/Low%20res%20PDF/low 802700.pdf) I only see one tz boarder crossing the country. If somebody could please tell me the actual number of time zones. If the number is indeed 3 time zones then I would really appreciate a map of some sort so that I could place my Kazakhstan cities into the correct tz according to their geographical position. If no such map exists, perhaps a list of cities with time zone data exists somewhere. The locations in question are: Alma Ata (Almaty) Aktyubinsk Shimkent Oral (Uralsk) Zhambyl (Dzhambul) Arkalyk; Qaraghandy Zhezqazghan Thank You, Marek Olszewski P.S. Please reply to the list and my email as I am not subscribed to your mailing list.
