The zoneinfo standard recognizes Europe/Monaco. All UNIX systems implement the UNIX standard; many implement zoneinfo also. The GNU CRTL implements both. The Windows CRTL implements the UNIX standard (actually it implements a subset) but does not implement zoneinfo. > If it is the case that that directory is not known to cygcheck then it > seems to me that it ought to be. You could link cygcheck to the GNU CRTL instead of the Windows CRTL, but that defeats cygcheck's purpose. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
