>From a posting to comp.sys.sgi.admin I learned that SGI does use Olsen's database in the "feature" stream (e.g., 6.5.Nf, N>2). The machines I use have 6.5.19m and 6.5.21m, but two systems with 6.5.22m have Olsen's database (see: "man zdump"). $ /sbin/uname -aR IRIX64 [...] 6.5 6.5.22m 10070055 IP30 $ showfiles eoe.sw.base | grep TZ f 11649 20003 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/africa f 45578 26997 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/asia f 11309 27954 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/australasia f 56271 2985 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/backward f 37003 1687 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/etcetera f 21755 88582 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/europe f 38515 311 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/factory f 25667 35826 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/northamerica f 4425 1107 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/pacificnew f 15976 19159 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/solar87 f 39829 19177 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/solar88 f 32211 19453 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/solar89 f 29073 15106 eoe.sw.base usr/lib/locale/TZ/southamerica I can't seem to find this mentioned in the announcments, so I'm not sure if these two systems were switched from "f" to "m" at some point or if SGI put a little gift into 6.5.22m. I suppose configure needs to check for a decent tz database, but maybe it is enough to add a little note to the Irix section of the install. -- George N.
