Walick pointed out the dateok.c function in C news. Geoff Collyer and Henry Spencer of C News fame (Geoff authored the dateok.c function, along with Mark Moraes and Rich Walies via Rayan Zachariassen) Jon Postel sent me information compiled by Gary Dixon , Jim Falksen and Gary M. Palter of the Multics project, and John Colville of NSWIT, Australia. This compilation includes two references: Dobyns, Zipporah Pottenger, Ph.D. and MacGregor, Marcian B. "The Astrology Annual Reference Book." 1981. Michelsen, Neil F. "The American Ephemeris, 1971 to 1980." Nickolay Saukh of JV Dialogue, Moscow, USSR supplied information about Moscow time zones. The anonymous authors of the BSD timezone() function Paul Eggert provided copious comments and also pointed me at Arthur David Olson's timezone database in SunOS 4.1's /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo. Arthur David Olson compiled a timezone database in SunOS 4.1. David Wilson and provided information on the times zones for Australia and New Zealand. Trin Tantsetthi, ISE/Thailand supplied information about Thailand Standard Time. Compiler's apology: please note that I don't endorse the use of time zone abbreviations in mail headers. Some entries of this list are a reflection of non-standard abbreviations in current mail headers -- e. g., BRA, MEX, ITA -- and others acknowledge abbreviations that were once used and are now obsolete -- e. g., AT, BT, CCT, MT.
