Arthur,

Figured I would add you to the list of folks I have contacted over the last couple of days.

I am putting together some controls for windows developers overseas to enable them to utilize all aspects of time zones (including the ever-present and pain in the rear DST variance). The data you have put together is the closest thus far to what I am looking for.

I cannot believe that somebody on the web hasn't posted a straightforward database with all the basic info for all applicable regions (well as much as can be done with such at least). I have gone through the data2000d.tar.gz file you posted on the ftp site and has much of the data I am looking for, but can be a bit confusing. Am I just an idiot? <grin>

Do you know of this straightforward and exhaustive source (obviously do not want to do 1000+ clicks to get the data from somebody's java app)...

many thanks,

andre'-tascha
