A bit more insight comes from the 1986 draft POSIX and the 1988 first version of the standard. http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/coolpix/posixtime/ Even more insight comes from counting that the 1988 standard has far more text (with more ruminations and consternation) about time zones than it has about precision time. -- Steve Allen <s...@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
