Try any (printed) atlas. Or wait until the next century when computers just barely begin to catch up with where printed matter was 300 years ago. Grepping indeed! -Tog

Our society has created a fictional time system of 32 time zones (24 one-hour offsets and several more half-hour and three-quarter hour offsets).

--Tognazzini, Bruce (tog@eng.sun.com): "Tog on Interface: The Myth of Precision", Sun World, volume 6, number 7 (June, 1993), page 100.

A grep in /usr/lib/zoneinfo/* on a SunOS 4.1.1 system failed to show up eight oddball time zones (see attached). Does anyone know of the origin for the "32" time zones?
