He's posting from fw-out.elbit.co.il.ser.netvision.net.il using windoze, but the latest tzdata file from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2006b.tar.gz has Israeli timezone data out to September 2037. The data was actually available in one of the tzdata2005? tarballs - sometime in March of last year as I recall. He's talking about "timezone.exe" which is some piece of windoze executable. I have no idea if gates&company is bothering to keep windoze up to date relating to timezone changes. >And since the mechanics of time zones varies subtly for the different >flavors of UNIX, BSD and Linux, you really are better off asking in a >newsgroup specific to your OS. Trust me - he did. Multiple times in the groups that I follow. Depending on what specific operating system he's using, if the vendor is still supporting it, the /usr/share/zoneinfo/* (or equivalent) file updates should be available. As long as his system is configured to the correct time zone (tzdata2006b says "Zion" or "Asia/Jerusalem", but it's just plain old "Israel" here) things are good beyond the end of 32 bit time_t.
