Timezone data? Where?

I want to write a localisation preferences program (to replace the standard one
on the Amiga) and I need timezone information.

I already got a physical map of the world from some FTP server, but I can't seem
to find a timezone map on line anywhere.

Ideally I would like a bitmap of the world (one pixel per degree, say), with each
pixel's value indicating its offset from GMT, but I guess that if the data is
available anywhere, it'd be in some sort of coordinate/vector format. That
doesn't matter much (I can easily write conversion software).

If you have any ideas, please e-mail me. If I find out I'll post the information
back to appropriate Usenet groups.

Thanks in advance.

(say, there isn't a FAQ I've ignored is there?)
