9 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
11 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
12 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
13 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
15 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source
16 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
17 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
18 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
19 # of the IATA's data after 1990.
21 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
22 # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
24 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
25 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
26 # I found in the UCLA library.
28 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
29 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
31 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
32 # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
33 # but Mark R V Murray reports that
34 # `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
35 # `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
36 # `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
37 # the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
38 # He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
40 # To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
41 # I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
42 # and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
43 # This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
44 # mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
46 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
47 # -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
48 # 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
49 # 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
50 # 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
51 # and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
52 # 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
53 # I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
54 # for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
55 # until we get more information.
57 # I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
58 # 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
59 # 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
60 # 2:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
61 # 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
62 # 3:00 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
63 # 3:00 EAT East Africa Time

245 # From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
246 # Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
247 # than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
248 # year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
249 # hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
250 # shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
251 # unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.

522 # (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
523 # than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
524 # date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
525 # given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
527 # A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
528 # to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
529 # but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
530 # USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
531 # why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
532 # changes two days later.
