# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
|
|
# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
|
|
# tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-22):
|
|
#
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (5th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1999).
|
|
#
|
|
# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
|
|
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
|
|
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
|
|
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
|
|
# of the IATA's data after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
|
|
# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
|
|
# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
|
|
# I found in the UCLA library.
|
|
#
|
|
# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
|
|
# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
|
|
#
|
|
# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
|
|
# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
|
|
# but Mark R V Murray reports that
|
|
# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
|
|
# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
|
|
# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
|
|
# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
|
|
# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
|
|
#
|
|
# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
|
|
# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
|
|
# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
|
|
# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
|
|
# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
|
|
#
|
|
# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
|
|
# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
|
|
# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
|
|
# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
|
|
# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
|
|
# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
|
|
# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
|
|
# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
|
|
# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
|
|
# until we get more information.
|
|
#
|
|
# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
|
|
# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
|
|
# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
|
|
# 2:44:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)

|
# this time in Tunisia. According to Yahoo France News
|
|
# <http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050426/5/4dumk.html>, in a story attributed to AP
|
|
# and dated 2005-04-26, "Tunisia has decided to advance its official time by
|
|
# one hour, starting on Sunday, May 1. Henceforth, Tunisian time will be
|
|
# UTC+2 instead of UTC+1. The change will take place at 23:00 UTC next
|
|
# Saturday." (My translation)
