One of the complaints has been that there are too many sets of timezone rules, but combining several zones that NOW have the same set of rules misses the point that there IS a lot of historic material and looking back at even just as far as the 2nd world war requires subtle differences. It would seem that the historic changes in Russian locations are also now getting accurate amendments to the rules, and simply hiding that information in 'backzone' needs to be clearly displayed when people using calendars that have 'simplified things' by stripping anything prior to 1970. Something substantial to prevent users from being given any offsets when the data is not available.
Return -1 for all dates prior to the epoch if zone1970.tab was used to build? -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
