236# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
237# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
238# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
239# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
240# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
241#
242# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
243# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
244# I found in the UCLA library.
245#
246# I invented the abbreviation SPST for St Pierre Standard Time; SPDT likewise.
247# Corrections are welcome!
