title: How do I directly read the timezone files included in the JRE distribution?
body: <p>Timezone information for Java are kept in a folder called "zi". For eg.
  C:\Program Files\Java\jdk6\jre\lib\zi</p>
  
  <p>files in this folder are in binary format. But it is very important for me to see exactly what they say.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone share a way,  to read these files, or are they Sun proprietary?</p>
