Hi,

a short list:

win98 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Time
Zones
NT4 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time
Zones
Win2K : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones
W2k3 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones
XP : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time
Zones

Apart from that, what is 'Afghanistan' on win98, is 'Afghanistan Standard
Time' on XP for example.

Cheers,

Paul.

I decided to put the TimeZones in what Wine called the %CurrentVersion% 
key.  It's easy enough to change the program that generates the data to 
put them in Windows NT\CurrentVersion if that's what is decided to be 
correct.

While we're on the topic, should we add the timezone data extractor 
program to Wine and run it to generate the data from the user's machine 
at either build or run time, or manually update the information from 
time to time?

In theory it should be under both, but for now we probably should put
it under Windows NT only, until we find an app that depends on the
Win9x location.

I think updating it from time to time is fine, this way we can verify
that the information is correct, and we don't depend on the user's
setup.
