now identical with the distributed versions, which may cause some abbreviations to change for people in obscure zones. (The abbreviations can be changed again if need be.) It also changes the abbreviation of Central European Time to `CET' from its previous value of `MET' (a curious German-English hybrid). Finally, we have finally rid ourselves of those nasty ZONE-DESCR comments, which were a maintenance nightmare, in favor of the new zone.tab file. We are not using the distribution's iso3166.tab file because we have our own list. Obtained from: Arthur David Olson; ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov

# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,

|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-09-03):
|
|
#
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
|
|
# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
|
|
#
|
|
# 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 the discovery of the longitude,
|
|
# Oxford University Press (1980).
|
|
#
|
|
# I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy.
|
|
# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where
|
|
# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and
|
|
# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region.
|
|
# For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'.
|
|
#
|
|
# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names,
|
|
# in decreasing order of importance:
|
|
#
|
|
# Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.',
|
|
# `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'.
|
|
# E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'.
|
|
# Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country.
|
|
# One such location is enough.
|
|
# If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970,
|
|
# don't bother to include more than one location
|
|
# even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
|
|
# Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
|
|
# If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
|
|
# e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so
|
|
# prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'.
|
|
# Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
|
|
# or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
|
|
# locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris'
|
|
# to `France', since France has had multiple time zones.
|
|
# Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and
|
|
# prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters).
|
|
# The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule.
|
|
# Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone,
|
|
# e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with
|
|
# similar populations, pick the best-known location,
|
|
# e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'.
|
|
# Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'.
|
|
# Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that
|
|
# would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to
|
|
# `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City',
|
|
# but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country
|
|
# of Mexico has several time zones.
|
|
# Use `_' to represent a space.
|
|
# Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena'
|
|
# to `St._Helena'.
|
|
#
|
|
# For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules,
|
|
# in decreasing order of importance:
|
|
#
|
|
# Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters,
|
|
# except use "___" for locations while uninhabited.
|
|
# Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to
|
|
# upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions.
|
|
# Previous editions of this database also used characters like
|
|
# ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
|
|
# the shell and cause commands like
|
|
# set `date`
|
|
# to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could
|
|
# be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case
|
|
# Ascii letters (and "___").
|
|
# Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
|
|
# e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
|
|
# We assume that applications translate them to other languages
|
|
# as part of the normal localization process; for example,
|
|
# a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'.
|
|
# For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
|
|
# traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
|
|
# The only name like this in current use is `GMT'.
|
|
# If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
|
|
# translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
|
|
# If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
|
|
# (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then:
|
|
#
|
|
# When a country has a single or principal time zone region,
|
|
# append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for
|
|
# Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST';
|
|
# for double summer time append `DST'; etc.
|
|
# When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three
|
|
# letters of an English place name identifying each zone
|
|
# and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before;
|
|
# e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time.
|
|
#
|
|
#
|
|
# For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations.
|
|
# LMT Local Mean Time
|
|
# -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used)
|
|
# 0:00 WAT West Africa Time
|
|
# 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time
|
|
# 2:00 SAT South Africa Time
|
|
# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time
|
|
# The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'.
|
|
# BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after.
