Hello and good morning,
I have recently relocated to Riyadh, KSA and have decided to spend my
now all-too-copious free time learning the ins and outs of Plan 9. One
nagging problem for me, however, is the lack of a AST timezone file.
I am curious if it is at all possible for:
1) Someone to throw one together for me, or (better still)
2) Explain to me the format of the file.
Also, are there any other plan 9 users in Saudi? :)
Thanks,
John Waters, no relation to the director.

The format is documented in ctime(2). Probably more readably than I
am about to attempt ;)
<abbreviation> <gmt offset [seconds]> <DST abbreviation> <DST gmt
offset [seconds]>
<start of first DST period [seconds since the epoch (start of 1970)]>
<end of first dst period [seconds since epoch]> <start of second DST
period> <end of second DST period> ...

As far as i know, Saudi Arabia is at UTC+3h and has no daylight savings time, so
AST 10800 AST 10800
should do. (C.f. Arizona.)

Hi gas,
After reviewing ctime's man page I came to the same conclusion.
I just tried it out and it appears to be just smurfy.
Thanks all,
jcw
