You REALLY shouldn't tell people when to reply to you. What if William
lives a quarter of the World away from you and has just gone to bed?
In fact, judging by the timezone stamps in your e-mail headers, you two
are *ten* timezones apart. So, in reality, William is half a World away
from you and is probably sleeping right now.
To answer your question: you forgot the backslashes at the end of some
of the lines. It should look like this:
<... blah blah>; do
zic -L /dev/null \
-d $ZONEINFO \
-y "sh yearistype.sh" ${tz}
zic -L /dev/null \
-d $ZONEINFO/posix -y "sh yearistype.sh" ${tz}
<blah blah ...>
The backslash at the end of the line means that the command does not
end, but continues on the next line. When you ommited that, the shell
thought that the second command of the loop was to execute the program
`-d' with $ZONEINFO as its argument. And that is where all those errors
came out of.
