In zone.tab, the America/Indiana/Vincennes comments were changed to "Eastern - IN (Da, Du, K, Mn)". IMHO, those abbreviations aren't distinct enough to identify specific counties in Indiana.
We used to say "Daviess, Dubois, Knox & Martin". Da and Du I might be able to figure out, but K could just as well be Kosciusko County, and Mn could be Madison or Marion.
Can we just return them to their names please?
Those are official abbreviations. Kosciusko is Ko, Madison is M. http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/files/countysite_designations.pdf Countries with more then 24 entries, like the United States, must limit comments to 34 characters to accommodate paging in an 80x24 display.
