A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
On June 1, 2008 there will be two new Daylight Saving Time changes that go into effect. Pakistan and Morocco plan to introduce Daylight Saving time. The governments of the two nations recently announced the change as part of their energy savings plans. Although the changes go into effect on the same day in both countries, please note that they will  have different end dates, as outlined below:

*Pakistan*: DST begins on June 1st. The clocks will move forward from 12:00:59 AM to 1:01:00 AM. The UTC Offset will change from +5 hours to +6 hours for Pakistan. DST will end at 12:00:59 AM on Sunday, August 31. At this time, the clocks will roll back to 11:01:00 PM on /Saturday, August 30/. The UTC Offset will change from +6 hours to +5 hours for Pakistan

Can you kindly update TZUpdater Tool because we are having issues in running our Oracle Peoplesoft 8.7 application as it is Java Dependent
