Subject: djtzs203.zip and djtzn203.zip updated
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

The files djtzs203.zip and djtzn203.zip in the v2 directory on
SimTel.NET have been updated.

As you might remember, a few days ago, a user reported on
comp.os.msdos.djgpp that the timezone files in djtzn203.zip were
broken.  Further investigation revealed that generating these files in
the cross-development environment set up on DJ Delorie's machine to
release DJGPP always produces such broken timezone files, due to
differences in representing time values by the time_t data type
between the host OS and the DJGPP library.

To fix this problem ASAP, the file djtzn203.zip on SimTel was replaced
with a version produced in a native DJGPP environment.  In addition,
the timezone files were produced from the latest time-zone database
available from the elsie.nci.nih.gov site.

The current upload replaces djtzs203.zip to bring it into sync with
djtzn203.zip.  The new djtzs203.zip has all the timezone-related files
replaced with the same new versions which were used to produce
djtzn203.zip.

In addition, both of these files now have the *.dsm files as part of
the distribution (these files are used by the zippo package manager
that's being developed for DJGPP).  The addition of djtzn203.dsm is
the only change in djtzn203.zip compared to the last upload a few days
ago.

Once again, I apologize for this bug.

Please direct any further discussions related to this upload to the
comp.os.msdos.djgpp news group (or write to djgpp AT delorie DOT com, which
is an email gateway to that group).
