-c only affects the display of the timezone transitions.
(In reply to comment #1) > -c only affects the display of the timezone transitions. well, while I do not seem to completely understand what is meant by "timezone transition", let's put the question in another way - if using -c does not work as I'd expect, is that possible to list only a range of years somehow?
