Pacific-New

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

The "pacificnew" file includes information about legislation that was
introduced (but not passed) in the United States Congress; it serves to
explain why a "Pacific-New" time zone was created in the first place.
Note that the last line of the file is a "Link America/Los_Angeles
US/Pacific-New" line, meaning that using either name now has the same
effect.

As to jokes and idiocy: there used to be an obscure bit of word play in
an strftime.c comment;
it was eliminated in version 7.40.-)
