C:/Progra~1/cygwin/usr/local/etc/zoneinfoThat's what's done if a search for a Tcl time zone definition in $tcl_library/tzdata fails.In addition, the set of hardcoded time zone names in ::tcl::clock::LegacyTimeZone is recognized, as is any Posix time zone specifier, and the special name 'localtime'."...'localtime' is not recommended ...""... if -timezone is not supplied, the order of preference is $env(TCL_TZ)*; $env(TZ); the time zone from the Windows registry; :Tcl/Localtime (allowing a site to install its own time zone definition in $tcl_library/tzdata); and :localtime (the C library)""... this structure means that Starpacks for Linux and Solaris [and Mac OS X ] can safely omit $tcl_library/tzdata with minimal loss of functionality, since those platforms will have the Olson files. Windows and HP-UX need tzdata for full functionality, but can omit it if 8.4-level timezone functionality is adequate ..."Tcl 8.5, as of October, 2005, comes with the following set of named time zones:

RS 2007-01-03 - Here's a little routine to collect the timezones known to Windows:
proc timezone {{what ""}} {
set k {HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones}
set res {}
foreach i [registry keys $k] {
set it [registry get $k\\$i Display]
if {$what eq "" || [string match *$what* $it]} {
lappend res $it
}
}
lsort -dict $res
}Test: % timezone Moscow
{(GMT+03:00) Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd}
% timezone Beijing
{(GMT+08:00) Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Urumqi}Without arguments, it returns something like{(GMT) Casablanca, Monrovia} {(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London} {(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna} {(GMT+01:00) Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague} {(GMT+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris} {(GMT+01:00) Sarajevo, Skopje, Warsaw, Zagreb} {(GMT+01:00) West Central Africa} {(GMT+02:00) Athens, Beirut, Istanbul, Minsk} {(GMT+02:00) Bucharest} {(GMT+02:00) Cairo} {(GMT+02:00) Harare, Pretoria} {(GMT+02:00) Helsinki, Kyiv, Riga, Sofia, Tallinn, Vilnius} {(GMT+02:00) Jerusalem} {(GMT+03:00) Baghdad} ...See also http://home.tiscali.nl/~t876506/TZworld.html
