FW: a correction to the tz database

According to your database, we are observing standard time, but actually we are observing daylight saving time currently, so our time is 3 hours in advance w.r.t UTC. The DST start and end dates are the same as in EU. I don't know about Lithuania but, according to http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ , it is also observing DST this year. Cheers, HN

Thanks for your bug report. That problem was corrected in the latest version of the tz database, which you can get from <ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2003a.tar.gz>.
