Short: Time Zone Database and Library Author: Carsten Larsen, Arthur David Olson & others Uploader: Carsten Larsen (carsten larsen mail com) Type: util/time Version: 3.00 Requires: util/time/tzdata Architecture: m68k-amigaos URL: http://www.iana.org/time-zones "What time is it?" -- Richard Deacon as The King "Any time you want it to be." -- Frank Baxter as The Scientist (from the Bell System film "About Time") The Time Zone Database (often called tz or zoneinfo) contains code and data that represent the history of local time for many representative locations around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets, and daylight-saving rules. The Amiga installation includes: * Amiga guide and install instruction * The Time Zone Database itself * GUI to select local time zone * SetClockGMT to maintain local time * Time Zone Library exposing database * Support for localtime zone file * Support for TZ environment variable * ZDump to show time in other parts of the world * Help files and documentation A RTC module is required for optimal usage. License and Credits =================== Unless otherwise specified, all files in the tz code and data are in the public domain, so clarified as of 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.

Thanks also to Michael Bloom, Art Neilson, Stephen Prince, John Sovereign, and Frank Wales for testing work, and to Gwillim Law for checking local mean time data.
