Can I register a new rule for time zones without updating Firebird and

If so, is there a DLL syntax for registering a new time zone rule?
This is interesting and valid question (as for me). With such
possibility
Lester could add missed historical rules, i think.
One of the items on my back burner is a Firebird powered TZDist service
which would provide versioned sets of rules and the check facility for
individual timezones. The data would simply be a Firebird database ...
The problem as always is lack of time due to trying to play catchup with
all the other non-BC changes being made to the whole infrastructure!
I'm documenting the notes on this service on the http://timedb.co.uk
site which is where it is intended to host it. But local copies of the
data would allow off-line use and TSDist would then provide patch
updates to that data without needing to retransmit the whole TZ database
every time!
