Russ,
 
I think you'd be better off parsing the compiled data, it's a lot more
consistent.
 
Thanks,

Hi,

I hope i'm not wasting your time.  I'm attempting to read the tz
database into a c# application, and I'm not sure how to interpret this
entry:

Zone Australia/Hobart    9:49:16    -    LMT    1895 Sep
            10:00    -    EST    1916 Oct 1 2:00
            10:00    1:00    EST    1917 Feb
            10:00    Aus    EST    1967
            10:00    AT    EST

What is the significance of the "1:00" on the row ending in "1917 Feb".
Do I just add this to the 10:00 offset?

Thanks,
Russell
