doesn’t have much historical data—and even then, only on Windows Vista, 7, and 2008. Microsoft updates this data through Windows Update, so if you don’t have that feature enabled, you might show up for all your appointments an hour late during the first week
of November. (j/k)</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">OK, I run my timezone database under windows, so, after a couple of tries, I got the code I downloaded from the TZ database site to compile under windows.</p>
