# 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 a Posix-like shell with the extension of a
# 'select' statement.  The 'select' statement was introduced in the
# Korn shell and is available in Bash and other shell implementations.
# If your host lacks both Bash and the Korn shell, you can get their
# source from one of these locations:
#
#	Bash <http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html>
#	Korn Shell <http://www.kornshell.com/>
#	Public Domain Korn Shell <http://www.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/>
#
# 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,
# you can use either of the following free programs instead:
#
#	Gawk (GNU awk) <http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/>
#	mawk <http://invisible-island.net/mawk/>


# Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
: ${AWK=awk}
: ${TZDIR=$(pwd)}

# Check for awk Posix compliance.
