Please send comments or information to
|
|
seismo!elsie!tz
|
|
for forwarding to folks interested in time zone matters.
|
|
|
|
Be sure to read the comments in "Makefile" and make any changes
|
|
needed to make things right for your system.
|
|
|
|
This version of the time zone software uses a new format
|
|
(based on the work of Guy Harris, a.k.a guy@sun.UUCP)
|
|
for the time zone information files. They are now stored by default in a
|
|
directory named "/etc/zoneinfo" rather than "/etc/tzdir" or "/etc/timezones"
|
|
as before. If you've already compiled programs with older time zone software,
|
|
just leave the "/etc/tzdir" and/or "/etc/timezones" files around until you
|
|
have a chance to recompile.
|
|
|
|
For better compatability with other versions of time conversion functions,
|
|
the time zone abbreviation to be used with localtime's return value is now
|
|
pointed to be one of the two elements of the (char *) array tzname, rather
|
|
than by the (char *) tz_abbr. If you have code that uses tz_abbr, add a
|
|
-DTZ_ABBR
|
|
to the end of the
|
|
CFLAGS=
|
|
line in "Makefile".
|
|
|
|
Historical local time information has been included here not because it
|
|
is particularly useful, but rather to:
|
|
|
|
* give an idea of the variety of local time rules that have
|
|
existed in the past and thus an idea of the variety that may be
|
|
expected in the future;
|
|
|
|
* provide a test of the generality of the local time rule description
|
|
system.
