I wish they'd make up their minds ! As yet, I have no idea what the actual ending date is so I'm taking a guess that the relevant patch to /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia is something like the following but, on a Saturday, it's difficult to find anyone to ring that actually knows :-( *** australasia.save Sat Mar 2 13:56:13 1996 --- australasia Sat Mar 2 14:00:06 1996 *************** *** 125,131 **** Rule AN 1986 1989 - Mar Sun>=15 3:00 0 - Rule AN 1986 only - Oct 19 2:00 1:00 - Rule AN 1987 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 1:00 - !
