Subject: Unix Timezone Files for Israel (1997-1998)
Newsgroups:   israel.listserv.il-board

On March 3, 1997, the Knesset decided to change the daylight savings switchover
times for the year 1997 (the times for 1998 decided by the previous Minister of
Interior, MK Haim Ramon, are still valid for the time being).

The official announcement (in Hebrew) is in the gzipped postscript file:

        ftp://ftp.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/announcements/1997.ps.gz

Corrected timezone files are available for Solaris (both 1.x and 2.z),
Ultrix, BSDI, Linux, AIX, HP-UX 9.x and SGI Irix (both 5.x and 6.z).

Anonymous Ftp Location
----------------------

All the timezone files are in subdirectories under the directory:

        ftp://ftp.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/israel/

The following are the existing subdirectories:

    aix             AIX              contributed by Doron Shikmoni (Bar Ilan U)
    bsdi            BSDI
    hpux            HP-UX 9.x        contributed by Micha Kushner (Telrad Corp)
    irix            Irix 5.x and 6.z
    linux           Linux            contributed by Vadim Vygonets (CS Huji)
    solaris         Solaris 2.x
    sunos           SunOs 4.1.x (Solaris 1.z)
    ultrix          Ultrix

In each subdirectory, there are the relevant data file(s) for that flavour
of Unix plus an "INSTALL" file detailing the installation instructions of
the timezone data file(s).
