It's independent of OS in the sense that Linux distributions, like many *ixes, use the public-domain tz time-zone database and related utilities (see tzselect(1), and Web pages at http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm). The compiled zone data live in /usr/share/zoneinfo, but you'll probably want to look at the source files: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2003a.tar.gz (File gets updated from time to time, and therefore changes filenames.) You'll find there a set of time rulesets for various parts of the world, including rulesets that specify the details of DST changeovers. -- Cheers, A: No. Rick Moen Q: Should I include quotations after my reply?
