Complain at tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov about this. I did, but they still believe that it's a Good Thing to change a timezone name after about 10 years of actual use. They tell that CET were the correct English, but i simply don't debate about this. I only debate about it being foolish to try changing it now. If MET is inappropriate, they should have changed it at least some five years ago, now it's IMHO too late. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
