Here's one possible way to reflect Busingen, Germany following Zurich rather than Berlin in 1980.<br><br>Another possibility would be to add a...<br> DE +474149+084125 Europe/Busingen<br>...line to "zone.tab" and a...<br>
Link Europe/Zurich Europe/Busingen<br>...line in "europe"<br><br>The Link could be avoided by adding a...<br> DE +474149+084125 Europe/Zurich Busingen<br>...line to "zone.tab" but that might confuse some readers<br>
(and could break anything out in the wild that relies on the third fields of "zone.tab" lines to be unique, as is true now).<br><br> --ado<br><br>diff -r -c before/europe after/europe<br>
