Hi,
I am using BSD/OS systems which use tz data as BSDI support seems to say. I
would like to know how to install tz data to incorporate new european
summertimes (I am in MET-1METDST) as HP said :
All countries member of the European Community should implement
the new summertime guidelines for 1996/1997. From now on in all
these countries the switch from wintertime to summertime will be
done on the same day (switching back also).
The changes are :

I found that on my systems, I have a crypted /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directory with subdir containing TZ info for towns in crypted text.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gildas.
