Problems with daylight savings change and zic on 4.0D

Hello:

Regarding the upcoming changes to the beginning and ending dates of daylight
savings time, we've looked at the patches HP released and seen that they
start at version 4.0E: since we're still on 4.0D it doesn't look like that is
an option for us.

I downloaded the new timezone data file tzdata2007a.tar.gz from
ftp://elsie.nci.hi.gov/pub and tried to compile it with our old version of
zic, but it failed.

I then tried compiling both the new timezone code and data, but the new code
will not compile on our system with the default Makefile.

Has anyone still on a version of Digital Unix too old to use the patches found
a way to upgrade their timezone information?

tia
