# 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:
#
#
# Bourne-Again shell (bash)
#
#
#
# Public domain ksh
#
#
# 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:
#
#
# GNU awk (gawk)
#
#
#
# mawk
#
# Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
: ${AWK=awk}
: ${TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo}
