I thought I had. Oh well - here's a transcript of a session showing the problem. robertc@lifelesslap:~$ zdump London London Sat Jul 3 23:32:51 2004 London robertc@lifelesslap:~$ zdump GB GB Sun Jul 4 00:32:56 2004 BST robertc@lifelesslap:~$ zdump BST BST Sat Jul 3 23:33:02 2004 BST There is no indication in here which of the three invocation of zdump actually returned useful data.
