(GMT - 12:00) International Date Line West No inhabited places are in this timezone, hence no entries in tz database.
(GMT - 06:00) Central America Look for a couple of provinces in Mexico, and Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Chile-Easter Island, Ecuador-Galapagos. Please check the "southamerica" file.
(GMT - 03:00) Brasilia The central Brazil zones are at -03:00. Some observe summertime (DST), some not.
(GMT - 02:00) Mid-Atlantic Zone: Atlantic/South_Georgia is at -02:00; it's in the south however...

Also, is there any site where I can find documentation about this library? In the tzcode folder are a couple of documentation files. The most interesting are probably: README Theory zic.8.txt
Another interesting file is zone.tab to be found in the tzdata folder. Here you'll find e.g. country codes and latitude/longitude information. The "canonical" web site is: http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm Oscar van Vlijmen 2004-05-18
