update the db with a click of a button on a Windows computer. So I have to compile the data myself.
The standard zic is distributed in the tzcode tarball. It's written in C, and shouldn't take much coaxing to compile and run on Windows. It already opens the output files in binary mode, showing that there's been some thought for portability to non-Unix systems. I think its biggest portability issue is pathnames, but the Unix-style pathnames it uses will be understood well enough by Windows. Your actual biggest problem is likely to be replacing the Makefile. -zefram
