That is not, in fact, a unique need. I have it too, but I find that I am having to live my life without satisfying the need. Hmmm..., maybe it's just a "want". The sad fact is that there is no source of information (that I or anybody else on this list has been able to find) that gives you what you want. To know all of the cities, towns, villages, hamlets and airports that are within a given time zone, you will have to actually visit all of the cities, towns, villages, hamlets and airports in the world, ask them what time zone they are in, and compile a database from which you can later select only those cities, towns, villages, hamlets and airports in the zone of interest. Of course, by the time you finish a small subset of that task, some of those cities, towns villages, hamlets and airports will have changed from one time zone to another, and they likely won't think to tell you about it. To further complicate this, many countries and states are divided among multiple time zones, and there is nothing (in principle) to prevent even a postal code to be so divided if the folks who live there choose to divide it.
If that sounds like I'm depressed... Call me "Eeyore". I'm finding ways to work around the issue. I hope you do to. Then again, if you ever do find a solution to this problem, I hope you'll remember to tell all of us here on this list. _______________________________ Paul H.

I have a unique need to be able to somehow know all the countries, cities, and postal codes that are in a certain TimeZone, can anyone recommend a way to do that? -Tim
