FW: Question on how to add Mount Athos to timezones

[Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I'm forwarding this message from Mike Petersen, who is not on the time
zone mailing list.

Those of you who are on the time zone list should direct replies
appropriately.

(Julian calendar support, anyone?)

Subject: Question on how to add Mount Athos to timezones

Hello,

I get quite a few support emails for Linux systems from people all over
the world, and this one stumped me.  A monk from Greece would like to
set their Suse Linux Systems to Athonite Time, which is basically 13
days behind the rest of the world.

For example today is Friday the 20th, but in Athos it is Friday the 7th.

Here is more information from the person I am trying to help:

Athos is a state in it's own right, a part of Greece, but an exception
from Europe (tax exile). It has it's own Government and Police force.

I will try to figure out a way to enter this in the glibc source, but I
was wondering if you had any tips on how to do this (or if you could
quickly do this for me.)

For Further questions on Athonite Time, you can email the person who
emailed me about it at: evdokimos at gmail.com

Thanks,
Mike Petersen
