Hi, Daylight savings time has just started in Sydney, and my system didn't respond too well. I thought that part of the problem might be that the clock chip was running wall-clock time (from a Windows config.) So I changed that to be GMT, and removed the /etc/wall_cmos_clock file, and started poking around in the TZ information, but was surprised to find only /usr/share/zoneinfo/... was all compiled. I havn't been able to hunt any more information down in the man pages or the FAQ or the handbook, so does anyone know? I don't believe that the compiled time info files are all that we have. When I worked in Brisbane on a Sony 4.3BSD system I remember finding a HUGE text file describing the entire history of daylight savings changes in Australia/Queensland. (It's changed every couple of years since I don't know when.) Anyway, thanks for the info, Andrew -- Andrew Reilly: reilly@zeta.org.au +61 2 9559 5029 (h) 36 Acton St. Senior DSP Design Engineer +61 2 9233 8655 (w) Hurlstone Park Lake DSP Pty Ltd Fax: +61 2 9233 8656 (w) NSW 2193 Australia GPO Box 4067, Sydney 2001 andrew@lake.com.au
