I have tried for some time to check the TZ database on ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002d.tar.gz but neither this nor /pub/ or /pub/tz/ gives any result. Is there an alternative address? I presume that 2002d is still the latest official version. Steffen Thorsen on http://www.timeanddate.com has Pakistan to end DST in 2003 at Sunday the 5.th. of October instead of 15.th. October as TZ database ver. 2002d will have it. Is that an official change? I believe that in 2002 Rives McDow had the transition time in October originally to be October 6, 2002. However, that is of course less relevant if we had an authoritative source on how it will be in 2003.
