5 # This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
6 # go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
7 # tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).

9 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1999-03-22):
10 #
11 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
12 # Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (5th edition),
13 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1999).
14 #
15 # Gwillim Law <Gwil_Law@bridge-point.com> 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.
20 #
21 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
22 # and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
23 #
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.
27 #
28 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
29 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
30 #
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 <markm@grondar.za> 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.
39 #
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.
45 #
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.
56 #
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
64 # 4:00 EAST East Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
