127# From Guy Harris:
128# The OAG lists 1987-10-25 and 1988-02-12 as the starting and
129# ending dates, giving them as "estimated date(s) based on previous year". We
130# infer a rule here from one example, always a dangerous practice.... Yes,
131# they really do switch on Saturday, according to the OAG.
132# "[America/Porto_Acre]" is for the Territory of Acre;
133# "[America/Noronha]" is for Fernando De Noronha.
134
135# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):

158# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18):
159# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
160# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
161# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
162# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
163# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
164# Shanks claims Acre stopped observing DST after 1988 Feb 7, but it
165# could just be that his table ran out of room. We're extrapolating
166# about time zone changes after 1990 Feb 11.
