- Please forgive me if this is a FAQ, but:
-
- Recently, a question has arisen here involving time zones and
- Daylight vs. Standard Time.
-
- We would like to be able to convert dates and times (in UTC)
- to their equivalent dates and times in various time zones, including
- Pacific Daylight and Standard Time, and vice versa. I am wondering
- if anyone out there knows of a source where one can get the *entire*
- definitive history of the rules for determining Daylight vs. Standard
- Time.
-
- I realize that Standard vs. Daylight is largely an American
- abberation, and that local jurisdictions (states?) are responsible
- for determining whether or not to actually make the change.
-
- So does anyone know where one would go to get that sort of
- info? I would like to write a definitive convertor, if possible,
- but any info would be greatly appreciated.
