9# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
10# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
11# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
12# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
13#
14# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
15# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
16# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
17# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
18# of the IATA's data after 1990.
19#
20# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
21# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
22#
23# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
24# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which

161# From Guy Harris:
162# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
163
164# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
165# No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
166# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
167# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
168# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
169# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
170#
171# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
172# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
173# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
174#
175# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
176# 1987 mid-April - ??
177
178# From U. S. Naval Observatory (1989-01-19):

181
182# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
183# Shanks writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
184# observing summer DST from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's
185# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.
186# Go with Shanks for now. I made up names for the other pre-1980 time zones.

83# From Paul Eggert (1996-05-04):
84# Shanks has Yerevan switching to 3:00 (with Russian DST) in spring 1991,
85# but usno1995 has Armenia at 4:00 (with DST), and Edgar Der-Danieliantz
86# <edd@AIC.NET> reported today that Yerevan probably won't use DST this year,
87# though it did use DST in 1995. We guess Yerevan stayed in sync with Moscow
88# between 1990 and 1995, but stopped using DST in 1996.

161# From Guy Harris:
162# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
163
164# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
165# No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
166# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
167# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
168# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
169# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
170#
171# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
172# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
173# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
174#
175# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
176# 1987 mid-April - ??
177
178# From U. S. Naval Observatory (1989-01-19):

180# CHINA 9 H AHEAD OF UTC APR 17 - SEP 10
181
182# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
183# Shanks writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
184# observing summer DST from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's
185# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.
186# Go with Shanks for now. I made up names for the other pre-1980 time zones.

571# Andrew Evtichov <evti@chevron.com> (1996-04-13) writes that Kazakhstan
572# stayed in sync with Moscow after 1990, and that Aqtobe (formerly Aktyubinsk)
573# and Aqtau (formerly Shevchenko) are the largest cities in their zones.
574# Guess that Aqtau and Aqtobe diverged in 1995, since that's the first time

558# Fall of 1996). After this (1996) year's Daylight Savings Time is over, the
