I am trying to write a shell program that can set the UNIX TZ environment variable according to where the UNIX machine is installed. To do this I need to collect a data base of TZ info for example Sydney Australia is EST5EDT. If you are reading this could you please post me the contents of your TZ variable and where or what part of the world you are posting from. I will publish results. Thnx bmg UUCP:uunet!munnari.oz!tndsyd.oz!berny INTERNET:berny@tndsyd.oz.au

I will publish results. I recommend you instead obtain the time-zone database distributed with ADO's timezone library (replacements for ctime() etc.) that was posted to one of the source newsgroups a couple of years ago; it should be on most of the archive sites. The usual location for this database is the directory /usr/lib/zoneinfo.
