Thanks.  Note that the SunOS time zone code and data files are derived
from the public-domain code and data files written by Arthur Olson and a
cast of ones, and has also been adopted by Berkeley for 4.xBSD and,
apparently, by Apple for A/UX (maybe by other UniSoft portees) and, I
think, by CMU for Mach (definitely by NeXT) - with more adoptees perhaps
to come.  As such, updates to these files deserve a wider audience than
just Sun-Spots; if you have access to Usenet, you should post them to
"comp.sources.bugs". 

In addition, you might want to forward them to Arthur Olson at
"ado at ncifcrf.gov" (he does read Sun-Spots, but just in case a posting
doesn't arrive...).  To quote from the README file for his most recent
posting of this stuff:

	The information in the time zone data files is by no means
	authoritative; if you know that the rules are different from
	those in a file, by all means feel free to change file (and
	please send the changed version to ado at ncifcrf.gov for use
	in the future).  Europeans take note!

(Yes, the most recent posting has been picked up by Sun for incorporation
into 4.1.)
