Assuming that IANA updated their DB files at reasonable intervals - my program checks to see if it has the latest file and if not it downloads the latest one - so it should end up being much easier - no cut-n-paste. Only if I can't find it within the latest IANA data do I consult other sources and in several years worth of using this, most of the time IANA does the job for me.
