Pacific/Auckland has always worked for me too, but I've never tried plain old NZ. Looking at the australasia file it seems to me, a total neophyte in the matter of Unix time, that there is now no difference between the two.
NZ time has all the historical vagaries of NZ daylight savings time recorded, whereas Pacific/Auckland does not. Anyway as I said before it's all a bit moot. For the public record I loath and detest the so called "summer time". It's absence was one of the attractions of coming here in the late 60s. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
