471# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1999-10-29):
472# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
473# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (5th edition),
474# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1999).
475#
476# Gwillim Law <Gwil_Law@bridge-point.com> writes that a good source
477# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
478# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
479# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
480# of the IATA's data after 1990.
481#
482# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
483# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.

530# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
531# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
532# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
533# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
534# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
535# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
536# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
537
538# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):
539# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
540# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
541# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
542# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
543
544# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
545# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
546# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
547# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
548# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
549# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
550# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.
