# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):

#

# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is

# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),

# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).

#

# 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 & Pottenger is the source for

# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.

#

# 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)

#	 3:00	CAST	Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)

#	 3:00	SAST	South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)

#	 3:00	EAT	East Africa Time

#	 4:00	EAST	East Africa Summer Time (no longer used)

# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):

# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter

# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each

# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite

# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by

# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,

# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.

# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):

# For lack of better info, assume the new rule is last Thursday in August.

# Shanks & Pottenger report no DST after 1998-04; go with IATA.

# <http://allafrica.com/stories/200703300178.html>:

# While the entire country changes its time, Katima Mulilo and other

# settlements in Caprivi unofficially will not because the sun there

# rises and sets earlier compared to other regions.  Chief of

# Forecasting Riaan van Zyl explained that the far eastern parts of

# the country are close to 40 minutes earlier in sunrise than the rest

# of the country.

# 

# From Paul Eggert (2007-03-31):

# Apparently the Caprivi Strip informally observes Botswana time, but

# we have no details.  In the meantime people there can use Africa/Gaborone.
