	That'd be news to me.  Good news.  Can you give URLs for this?
	
	I just now Googled for New_York.geo, but all I found was Doug
Royer's
	expired draft proposal for a registry for such data
	
<http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-royer-timezone-registry/>
<http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-royer-timezone-registry/> .  As
	far as I know, this has not been implemented.  I have seen
technical
	recommendations for a time zone service that might contain the
data
	you're talking about
	
<http://www.calconnect.org/publications/timezoneregistryandservicerecomm
endationsv1.0.pdf>
<http://www.calconnect.org/publications/timezoneregistryandservicerecomm
endationsv1.0.pdf> ,
	once it gets implemented.
	
	
	  

The item google gave you is the site that I heard about it.



	

		So can you please direct me to where I can download the
timezone area
		polygons.
		    

	
	Some timezone area data is mentioned under "Time zone
boundaries" in
	<http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm>
<http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm> .  You can look there, but I
	suspect it won't be exactly what you want.
	
	  

The only one that looks to have potential was the link to
http://www.manifold.net/download/freemaps.html
On that site they have a link to a TZ boundary database
ftp://69.17.46.170/downloads/free_world/WorldTZ.zip
But that link keeps timing out. i did a search for the file itself under
google, and the two "mirrors" for it are down as well.

Do you happen to know how to get this file?

Thanks in advance.
