-The public-domain tz database contains code and data -that represent the history of local time -for many representative locations around the globe. -It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies -to UTC offsets and daylight-saving rules. -This database (often called zoneinfo) -is used by several implementations, -including BSD, DJGPP, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris, and UnixWare. -In the tz database's -FTP distribution, -the code is in the file tzcodeC.tar.gz, -where C is the code's version; -similarly, the data are in tzdataD.tar.gz, -where D is the data's version. -

-The GNU C Library -has an independent, thread-safe implementation of -a time zone file reader. -This library is freely available under the GNU Library General Public License, -and is widely used in GNU/Linux systems. -

-The Web has several other sources for time zone and daylight saving time data. -Here are some recent links that may be of interest. -

The United States Central Intelligence agency publishes time zone maps; -the - -Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection -of the University of Texas at Austin has on-line copies of -the 1995 and 1997 editions. -The pictorial quality is good, -but the maps do not indicate summer time, -and parts of the data are a few years out of date. -
The -Time of Internet -contains good descriptions of Time Zones and daylight saving time, -with diagrams. -The time zone map is out of date, however. -
A -Few Facts Concerning GMT, UT, and the RGO -answers questions like ``What is the difference between GMT and UTC?'' -
