This is a bit off-topic, but people here are likely to know the answer. V7 had a timzone function: char *timezone(int zone, int dst); that returned a timezone name. POSIX has a timezone variable which is the offset in seconds from UTC. The man pages for all of {Net,Free,Open}BSD seem to indicate that both are available on those systems. My question is, how? The declarations for both are given as being in . But don't the symbols in libc.a conflict with each other? How does a programmer on *BSD choose which version of timezone they will get? Feel free to reply privately. Thanks, Arnold
