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

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.
