That's okay. My compiler is done and I can now create a database containing transitions for each zone. Thanks everyone for the help and the indirect help I received through the archive. Willy ----- Original Message ----- On Mon Oct 24 14:43:41 2011"Steve Allen" <sla@ucolick.org> wrote:

Yes, it would be nice to use the binaries, but I have to provide a complete solution that can, upon someone retrieving and extracting the tz data, update the db with a click of a button on a Windows computer.

Unless I'm mistaken one of the goals of the CalConnect Timezone Technical Committee effort is to define network server mechanism for providing zoneinfo to any client which needs to know that. Is this the sort of project which can wait for that spec to mature and use its data? If so that might be preferable to inventing yet another mechanism.
