About

PascalTZ stands for "Pascal Time Zone". It allows you to convert local times to GMT/UTC/Zulu and across time zones taking in account the different rules for this change on every time zone. PascalTZ uses the public database available at http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm to know how to change time for any past time (rules changed over the years) and it is almost 100% reliable for times in 20th and 21th century, and quite precise for prior times as some rules in 19th century and before were never properly documented. Time zone changes for the future times are not reliable as the rules can change sometimes suddenly like Venezuela 2007 change proposed a bunch of days before the change, or the 2009 Argentina ones.
