Fernando Alegre <alegre@mars.superlink.net> Package Maintainer, Debian Linux Package timezone-7.46-0.deb cc: tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov (Upstream) In the debian linux timezone package, in the file australasia, in the source, there may be an error. I hesitate to make such an assertion, but I am certain, having lived there for the past decade, that "Truk" (now properly known as Chuuk), at about 7°N 151°E, is in the time zone GMT+10, and not +11 as indicated in the australisia file. You may also be interested that the capital of Chuuk ( a State of the Federated States of Micronesia, since I think 1986) is Weno (properly, Wené, but usually spelled Weno). The approximate Latitude and Longitude are (probably for my island of Toon, not for Wené, these ought to be checked): 7° 19.8' N 151° 34.8' E ---------------------From the file australasia---------------- # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Pacific/Yap 9:12:32 - LMT 1901 # Colonia 9:00 - PLT 1969 Oct 10:00 - GST Zone Pacific/Truk 10:07:08 - LMT 1901 10:00 - GST 1978 Oct 11:00 - NCST <------------WRONG?

I would be very much interested in learning of information that Chuuk Lagoon is in the GMT+11 timezone. I don't think it is, however. Alan Davis adavis@saba.kuentos.guam.net
