The format of the input is documented in the zic(8) man page. The format of the output is documented in the tzfile(5) man page.
Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot. This is classic Unix/Linux. Here's no fancy web pages yet that could welcome and inform the user efficiently. Here's manpages, C codes and scattered text files in archives that you first need to download. Have I overlooked something? I understand that maintaining a more or less beautiful but more importantly informative website causes work, but so does answering e-mails which again seemed feasible. It's the overview that lacks here. I could read all pieces but would still not know how they work together and what their intention is. Anyway, it was just a suggestion. You already helped me and I'm thankful for that. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <nospam.list@unclassified.de> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de
