Indeed, Eric Ulevik: a catching name for the TZ database seems useful. AltaVista gives however 29 hits with 'tzdb', half of which are Chinese pages and probably due to a Tzdb site (http://202.96.137.66/dzbk/tzdb/tzdb.htm) AltaVista gives 57 hits with 'Olson database', mostly due to RFC 2445 copies. AltaVista gives 174 hits with 'timezone-database'. AltaVista gives no hits with tz-database. Probably tz-database is a useful name. The tz-link.htm webpage should get at least two META tags, describing the contents in order to get registered correctly with most search engines; like this: <meta name="description" content="....."> <meta name="keywords" content="....."> Regards, Oscar van Vlijmen 2000-02-07

I thought it already had a name. It is named after how it is seen on a Unix system. As http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm says in the opening paragraph it is "often called zoneinfo", but that doesn't stop it from being renamed. It certainly doesn't stop the need for a page which says that this is what it should be called as opposed to just the informal "often called". -Paul -- Myriad Genetics: http://www.myriad.com/ Java FAQ: http://www.afu.com/javafaq.html (Section 9, Computer Dating)
