Time Zone Library

[John Kouraklis 94]

I came across this library and thought to share. 

 

It offers management of time zones if anyone is interested.

We have used this for many years and found it very robust and comprehensive.  For some periods in the past it has not always kept up with every IANA update, but currently it includes the latest  one.  You can always update the embedded data yourself using the provided compiler, if you subscribe to the TZDB mailing list to get notified of updates.  Our software only needs to be aware of future zone and DST changes, not those in the past, so I modified the compiler to omit all the information about which day in 1928 the DST rules were changed in Alaska or Zanzibar, and other such fascinating facts.  It's very simple to use if you have a need for the TZ information that IANA maintains.
