Re^3: Best source for list of timezones?

If "the site that was referenced earlier" meant http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm, they do their very best to be accurate, and release updates 4 or 5 times a year. If you know of any corrections, by all means send them to the mailing list.

(Also, their data files make for fascinating reading. :)

yup, that's the one.. sorry about that. Long day... I've heard the problem referenced to on National Public Radio several times in the past few years. It is a logistical nightmare for the government, so some places don't officially notify the appropriate authorities proactively. Yup, anyone that runs across a place that has a different time than what is listed, please send an email on the mailing list. to be honest, I don't know of any application that would have to know about all the time variants locations. No one has seen what you have seen, and until that happens, we're all going to think that you're nuts. - Jack O'Neil, Stargate SG-1	[reply]
