nope. the timezone is correct. i think the output of tzdump is confusing. for us eastern, here's an example ; for(i in 4 5)date `{echo '1081044000 + 3600*'$i|hoc} Sun Apr 4 01:00:00 EST 2004 Sun Apr 4 03:00:00 EDT 2004 and for newfoundland ; ifs=() timezone=`{cat tz/Canada_Newfoundland}for(i in 3 4)date `{echo '1081044000 + 3600*'$i|hoc} Sun Apr 4 01:30:00 NST 2004 Sun Apr 4 03:30:00 NDT 2004 the reason for the confusion, is that the localtime applies the offset before applying the dstpairs. (/sys/src/libc/port/ctime.c) i belive i tripped on this when i did the work for the us zones. if there's a bug, it's in tzdump. - erik
