# '@(#)WWW 7.3' # From Paul Eggert (1995-11-03) # # The Web has several other sources for time zone and daylight savings data. # Here are some recent links that may be of interest. # # Date and Time Gateway # http://www.bsdi.com/date # A text-based source for tables of current time throughout the world. # Its point-and-click interface accesses a recent version of the tz data. # # Local Times Around the World # http://www.hilink.com.au/times/ # This text-based system contains links to local time servers # throughout the world, and though the coverage is limited, # the live data provide a nice way to check one's tables. # # World Time Zones # http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/tzones.html # US Naval Observatory data, used as the source for `usno1995'. # # Standard Time Zones of the World # http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/95fact/802389.gif [54 kB] # http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/95fact/802389h.gif [1317 kB] # A static time zone map, available in both low-resolution and # high-resolution versions. The quality is good, but the map does not # indicate summer time, and parts of the data are a few years out of date. # # VIBE's World Map # http://pathfinder.com/vibe/vibeworld # An active time zone map. You can point to the map and find out what # time it is at that location. The map and data are not as good as # other sources. ############################################################################### # From Manavendra Thakur (1995-11-06) # # To Paul's list of time zone information on the web, I would add the # following URL: # http://www.dhl.com/dhl/dhlinfo/1bb.html # or more simply: # http://www.dhl.com/ # # This is run by DHL (the courier company), and it presents a list of the # countries served by that company. If you then click on a particular # country, here's an example of what you'll see (graphics stripped out): # # United Kingdom # # HOLIDAYS: Jan 1, 2, Apr 14, 17, May 1, 29, Aug 28, Dec 25, 26 # # INTERNATIONAL DIALING CODE: +44 # # CURRENT LOCAL TIME: 09:41 Monday 6 November 1995 # # I find this rather handy, and given that DHL covers 217 countries and # territories, it's pretty comprehensive coverage. # # (I have no idea what system DHL is using to calculate the local time, but # it's been accurate so far.) ############################################################################### # From Arthur David Olson (1996-01-04) # # A good source of information about ISO 8601 seems to be # http://www.ft.uni-erlangen.de/~mskuhn/iso-time.html # maintained by Markus Kuhn.
