# Ask the user about the time zone, and output the resulting TZ value to stdout.
# Interact with the user via stderr and stdin.

# Contributed by Paul Eggert.

# Porting notes:
#
# This script requires several features of the Korn shell.
# If your host lacks the Korn shell,
# you can use either of the following free programs instead:
#
#	<a href=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/>
#	Bourne-Again shell (bash)
#	</a>
#
#	<a href=ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/pdksh/pdksh.tar.gz>
#	Public domain ksh
#	</a>
#
# This script also uses several features of modern awk programs.
# If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix.2,
# you can use either of the following free programs instead:
#
#	<a href=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/>
#	GNU awk (gawk)
#	</a>
#
#	<a href=ftp://ftp.whidbey.net/pub/brennan/>
#	mawk
#	</a>


# Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.

: ${TZDIR=$(pwd)}
