I recommend you instead obtain the time-zone database distributed
with ADO's timezone library (replacements for ctime() etc.) that
was posted to one of the source newsgroups a couple of years ago;
it should be on most of the archive sites.  The usual location
for this database is the directory /usr/lib/zoneinfo.
