Would this work for America/Indiana/Knox (note especially the -5:00  
on the second-to-last line)?

Zone America/Indiana/Knox -5:46:30 -	LMT	1883 Nov 18 12:13:30
			-6:00	US	C%sT	1947
			-6:00	Starke	C%sT	1962 Apr 29 2:00
			-5:00	-	EST	1963 Oct 27 2:00
			-6:00	US	C%sT	1991 Oct 27 2:00
			-5:00	-	EST	2006 Apr 2 2:00
			-5:00	-	CDT	2006 Apr 2 3:00
			-6:00	US	C%sT
