o What is the background of your customers?
o What problem(s) are they trying to solve?
o What tools/techniques are they using?
o What would have been a better way?
I had been unfamiliar with tzselect. Is there a FAQ

tzselect seems Linux-centric. (It's not available on
MacOS.) It may not meet your customers' needs. Are
there similar facilities on other OSes?
