Thanks Lonnie, 'thought so.
I'm actually building a system for Africa/Casablanca but this file didn't work because it doesn't have the dst changes for summertime. So I used WET which seems to set the time OK - even if not on the status page of the GUI (see my other post). BUT, it doesn't have the correct change over dates for Casablanca. (See http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=60) BTW neither does Africa/Ceuta (a bit of Spain in the Mahgrib). I now need to find a good timezone file with the correct changeover dates . . . (Others have the same problem: http://lists.mandriva.com/bugs/2010-04/msg02890.php) Anyone know of a website that does on-line compilation of timezone files??? We'll get there!
