7240116Smarcel# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
8240116Smarcel# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
9240116Smarcel# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
10240116Smarcel# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
11240116Smarcel#
12240116Smarcel# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
13240116Smarcel# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
14240116Smarcel# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
15240116Smarcel# published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
16240116Smarcel# of the IATA's data after 1990.
17240116Smarcel#
18240116Smarcel# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
19240116Smarcel# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.

32240116Smarcel# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
33240116Smarcel# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
34240116Smarcel# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
35240116Smarcel#	I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
36240116Smarcel#	_daylight-saving time_.  _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
37240116Smarcel#	in Europe and South America.

42240116Smarcel# From Guy Harris:
43240116Smarcel# From Official Airline Guide - Worldwide Edition (1987).  Countries not
44240116Smarcel# listed here do not observe DST, according to the OAG.  Time zone names
45240116Smarcel# are pure inventions, and none are supplied for countries not observing
46240116Smarcel# DST; updates from natives would be appreciated.  The times that DST
47240116Smarcel# starts and ends are based on the assumption that they switch a 2AM just
48240116Smarcel# as everybody else does.

65240116Smarcel# AR was chosen because they are the ISO letters that represent Argentina.

188240116Smarcel# From Guy Harris:
189240116Smarcel# The OAG lists 1987-10-25 and 1988-02-12 as the starting and
190240116Smarcel# ending dates, giving them as "estimated date(s) based on previous year".  We
191240116Smarcel# infer a rule here from one example, always a dangerous practice....  Yes,
192240116Smarcel# they really do switch on Saturday, according to the OAG.
193240116Smarcel# "[America/Porto_Acre]" is for the Territory of Acre;
194240116Smarcel# "[America/Noronha]" is for Fernando De Noronha.
195240116Smarcel
196240116Smarcel# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18):
197240116Smarcel# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
198240116Smarcel# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
199240116Smarcel# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
200240116Smarcel# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
201240116Smarcel# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
202240116Smarcel
203240116Smarcel# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
204240116Smarcel# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
205240116Smarcel# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
206240116Smarcel# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO),
207240116Smarcel# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
208240116Smarcel# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
209240116Smarcel
210240116Smarcel# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
211240116Smarcel# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other
212240116Smarcel# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
213240116Smarcel# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
214240116Smarcel# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91.  Each issue from then until
215240116Smarcel# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
216240116Smarcel# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
217240116Smarcel# (UTC-4)....  The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
218240116Smarcel# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
219240116Smarcel# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
220240116Smarcel# become part of the state of Pernambuco).  The boundary between BR1 and BR2
221240116Smarcel# has never been clearly stated.  They've simply been called East and West.
222240116Smarcel# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
223240116Smarcel# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil.  For each
224240116Smarcel# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM.  From that
225240116Smarcel# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE),
226240116Smarcel# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do
227240116Smarcel# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.
228240116Smarcel
229240116Smarcel# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
230240116Smarcel# Let's make the following assumptions:
231240116Smarcel#
232240116Smarcel# * All data in Shanks are correct through 1990.  In particular,
233240116Smarcel#   Shanks was right when he said Acre stopped observing DST in mid-1988.
234240116Smarcel# * Areas where Shanks reports DST up to 1990, but the IATA reports no DST
235240116Smarcel#   in 1995, stopped observing DST in mid-1990.
236240116Smarcel#
237240116Smarcel# Under these assumptions Brazil needs 7 entries to cover all the distinct
238240116Smarcel# time zone histories since 1970:
239240116Smarcel#
240240116Smarcel# Noronha (UTC-2), Fortaleza (UTC-3), and Manaus (UTC-4) stopped observing DST
241240116Smarcel#	in mid-1990.
242240116Smarcel# Maceio (UTC-3) stopped observing DST in mid-1990, but started again mid-1995.
243240116Smarcel# Sao Paulo (UTC-3) and Cuiaba (UTC-4) always observed DST.
244240116Smarcel# Porto Acre (UTC-5) stopped observing DST in mid-1988.
