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 adjust daylight-saving time
|
|
* ZDump to show time in other parts of the world
|
|
* Time Zone Library exposing database
|
|
* Support for localtime zone file
|
|
* Help files and documentation
|
|
|
|
To automaticaly adjust daylight-saving time a RTC module is required.
