tktz is a software tool that assists users in estimating the current time in a different country.
Unfortunately, tktz is not currently available for Windows, but the developer may consider creating a version for this platform in the future. Before you can start using this tool, you will need to install Tcl/Tk version 8.4 or higher.
To install tktz, you will need to copy all of the distribution files to a directory of your choice. For example, you might choose to use the following command:
% cp -R tktz-x.y /usr/local/lib/tktz
Once the files have been copied, you will need to create a symlink to the executable file:
% ln -s /usr/local/lib/tktz/tktz /usr/local/bin/tktz
It is also important to make sure that you have a zone.tab file. This file is usually located near /usr/share/timezone/. If you need to specify a different path for this file, you can do so using the following command:
*Tktz.l_file_val.text: /path/to/another/timezone/file
Alternatively, you can start the application with the -xrm command line option and specify the path to the file in that way:
% tktz -xrm '*Tktz.l_file_val.text: /path/to/another/timezone/file'
Any command line argument will override the settings specified in .Xdefaults. Overall, tktz is a useful tool for anyone who needs to be able to quickly and easily figure out the time in other parts of the world.
