Apologies for not catching this sooner: In 2013, between 2013e and 2013i, America/Montreal was eliminated. But there is not, as is usually done, a link in the “backward” file. Some others I looked at, like Antarctica/South_Pole, did get an entry in backward. Is the an oversight or was it intentional? paul

That's because there is a Zone America/Montreal in "northamerica". Admittedly this is an unusual case which should be cleaned up at some point.

Thanks. I have a script that does postprocessing on the tz data; this “unusual case” must be something I’m not handling correctly. No problem, I can fix it. paul

But in every other case, when there is a Zone line in one of the region files, there is a line for that zone in zone.tab. (Well, every case other than the 1980s Ryiadh solar time ones.) paul

Yes, it's an unusual case which should be fixed at some point. Just as the Riyadh case was unusual (that is one we've already fixed).
