Re: Is the current Canada/Central zoneinfo correct?

I called Tourism Winnipeg, (800) 665-0204, at 8:55 p.m. GMT on 9/25/95 (4:55 p.m. in Washington, DC; US Eastern Daylight Time, the same as New York). The answering party said it was 3:55 in Winnipeg; Winnipeg being Central, this one-hour difference would indicate they're also still on Daylight Time. The current "northamerica" file yields a two-hour difference, and shows Winnipeg back on Standard Time (indicated by the "CST" below): Script started on Mon Sep 25 17:19:30 1995 elsie$ ./zdump GMT America/New_York America/Winnipeg GMT Mon Sep 25 21:19:41 1995 GMT America/New_York Mon Sep 25 17:19:41 1995 EDT America/Winnipeg Mon Sep 25 15:19:41 1995 CST elsie$ exit script done on Mon Sep 25 17:19:45 1995 So it does look as if something is amiss. Whether it's the rule or the answering party, what the right rule is, and what area the right rule applies in deponent sayeth not. --ado
