I can't find what I think you're looking for, but can tell you that it's
written by Mark Eckstein, author of DSTswitch.

The following from Mark may also be helpful:

Some words on the new clock from me as well. eCS Clock contains some
lines of code from DSTswitch, yet apart from this it is a completely new
product. That means, taking a look at the latest DSTswitch release
wouldn't give you an adequate impression of what you can expect from eCS
Clock.
As Bob already mentioned, eCS Clock has got a scheduler, supports up to
eight time zones per country, and has a world time display. And - of
course - it does change the clocks when it is time to.

Somebody expressed concerns whether eCS Clock will be aware of the
inverted seasons on the southern hemisphere. It is.

Although eCS Clock has some features that rely on a network
connection, it is not necessary to have one. Change of clocks, world time
and scheduler will work even when there's no time server reachable. Of
course, having an Internet connection makes certain things easier, like
getting updated TZ strings, synchronizing system time, etc.

eCS Clock is also able run with the insufficient TZ strings the IBM
installer creates. But having a real one enables all of eCS Clock's
functionality.
As somebody already said, I have mentioned a tool for creating TZ strings
- TZcreator - on my website (http://www.mark-eckstein.com). It is
available on hobbes.nmsu.edu. Simply do a search for tzcr200.zip
