Seems strange to me that since Michelson's died in 1990 and Astrolabe, Inc. did
not buy the rights until 2008, that there seems to be an 18 year time warp in
the statement 'Following the death of Neil Michelsen, the founder of Astro
Computing Services, Astrolabe purchased the rights to the ACS PC Atlas' ? I was
under the impression that 'Great Wisdom Publishing' had bought all the rights in
1998?
Now that we have a quite complete history of the development of the tz database,
it would be interesting to see how many of the corrections added to the 'olsen'
database have subsequently been applied to the later issues of the Atlas? And
how many 'facts' remain incorrect :)
