Hi,

Unless I'm missing some of the data files, the only rule TYPE ever used is
"-" 

The man page states:
     TYPE    Gives the type of year in which the rule applies.
             If TYPE is - then the rule applies in all years
             between FROM and TO inclusive.  If TYPE is something
             else, then zic executes the command
                  yearistype year type
             to check the type of a year:  an exit status of zero
             is taken to mean that the year is of the given type;
             an exit status of one is taken to mean that the year
             is not of the given type.


What other types except for "-" are allowed?
