Obtained From: Arthur David Olson, ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode94g.tar.gz You need to slap Garrett's hand for importing source code without a proper copyright, then you need to contact Arthur David Olson and obtain a copy of the files with a proper copyright placed by him in them, then import these new versions into FreeBSD and handle the merge. You just can't go slap arbitrary copyrights on peoples work, you asking to get yourself, and FreeBSD Inc., into trouble. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
