# 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 <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
#
# 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'.
#
# We typically use traditional English time zone abbreviations,
# and assume that applications translate them to other languages
# as part of the normal localization process.
#
# I made up the following time zone abbreviations; corrections are welcome!

# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time
# 4:00 SMT Seychelles and Mascarene 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.
