Friends, The web page at http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm (as well as some other sources on the web) shows you as the source for the TZ code and database. I have been unable to successfully FTP the files from your FTP site. I can... * connect via FTP (anonymous) * change to the /pub directory But when I try to do the 'dir' command I get the following error... "425 Can't build data connection: Connection timed out." Am I doing something wrong? Is there a mirror or alternate location for those files?
