+# to a time zone that was right for their area.  These days, the
+# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, so there's little

+# We use POSIX-style signedness in the names and output,
+# internal-style signedness in the specifications.
+# For example, TZ=Etc/GMT+4 corresponds to 4 hours _behind_ UTC;
+# it is equivalent to TZ=GMT+4, which is implemented directly as per POSIX.
+
+# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant,
+# and had lines such as
+#		Zone	GMT-12		-12	-	GMT-1200
+# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old
+# way does a
+#		zic -l GMT-12
+# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory.
