timezone

I can get a list of time zones with [NSTimeZone knownTimeZoneNames], but that only gives the time zone IDs which include one or 2 cities in each time zone.

The Date & Time settings has a great list of cities and I have seen a few other apps that have the same if not similar lookup lists.

Where do these lists come from??

I do need to relate a picked city to it's time zone like Date & Time does.

Thanks,

John
