# TZ zone descriptions

# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-08-05):
#  
# This file contains a table with the following columns:
# 1.  ISO 3166 2-character country code.  See the file `iso3166.tab'.
# 2.  Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
#     in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
#     either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
#     first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
# 3.  Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
# 4.  Comments; present if and only if the country has multiple rows.
#
# Columns are separated by a single tab.

# The table is sorted first by country, then an order within the country
that
# (1) makes some geographical sense, and
# (2) puts the most populous zones first, where that does not contradict
(1).

# Lines beginning with `#' are comments.
