I've been off-and-on reading the "live minus thirty years" old usenet<br>
feed at <a href="http://olduse.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">olduse.net</a>, and noticed something that may be of interest to<br>
both of these groups: The original mod.sources posting of the (as far as<br>
I can tell) earliest available version of Arthur David Olson's timezone<br>
handling code, in 1986.<br>

For the files present in both, it matches revision 7441f6b6 from the git<br>
repository, except for SCCS IDs vs %W%.<br>

The git repository contains a file ialloc.c that is not present in the<br>
release.<br>
<br>
Probable renamed files - These appear in the git repository under their<br>
new<br>
names, but had the older names in the release.<br>
New: localtime.c newctime.3 zdump.c zic.8 zic.c<br>
Old: tzcomp.8 tzcomp.c tzdump.c settz.c settz.3<br>
<br>
Files in the release but not this version of the git repository:<br>
<br>
mkdir.c strchr.c: These never appear, though they're referenced in<br>
Makefile edits.<br>
pacificnew: doesn't appear until SCCS version 8.1 in revision aaf2a927<br>
dated July 2006.<br>
years.sh: Appears as SCCS 7.1 yearistype.sh, dated March 1992.<br>
