Timezone. A new file MOSCOW

Post by goodbyespy » Sun Aug 15, 2021 9:01 am

Hello,
I've got a little question
Where can I download a new version MOSCOW timezone file from?
I'm using OpenVMS Alpha 8.4 with the Hobbyist License.

Thanks for help a lot.
Oleg

You say you are using V8.4 with the Hobbyist license. Is that correct? HPE no longer updates Timezone files for V8.4 versions.
There should be a MOSCOW timezone file in V8.4-2L1 Alpha distributed by the VSI hobbyist program. The is this change documented in the 2020e IANA.org release:

Volgograd switches to Moscow time on 2020-12-27 at 02:00.

Is that the update you are looking for? You can generate binary timezone files yourself following the guidelines in the C runtime utilities manual here: https://vmssoftware.com/docs/Compaq_C_R ... Manual.pdf
