Also, times before 1970 do matter. Whether you are certain or uncertain of the data is less important than not changing the data. In essence the TZDB has become the definition of what time was, irrespective of whether it is accurate or not. As such, history should only be changed if it is demonstratable that the original data was wrong.
Seconded! One of my main problems has been getting a reliable base for historic material. Many systems simply ignore dates prior to 1970, but a large number of us are using genealogical databases and need to know that we are working with the same numbers. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
