11309583Sglebius# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
12309583Sglebius
13309583Sglebius# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
14309583Sglebius# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
15309583Sglebius# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
16309583Sglebius# the file 'backward'.
17309583Sglebius
18309583Sglebius# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
19309583Sglebius# pre-1970 time stamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
20309583Sglebius# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
21309583Sglebius# most of the era.  Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
22309583Sglebius# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file.  Many of
23309583Sglebius# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
24309583Sglebius# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
25309583Sglebius# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 time stamps.
26309583Sglebius
27309583Sglebius# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
28309583Sglebius# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
29309583Sglebius# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
30309583Sglebius# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.

35309583Sglebius
36309583Sglebius# Zones are sorted by zone name.  Each zone is preceded by the
37309583Sglebius# name of the country that the zone is in, along with any other

43309583Sglebius# Ethiopia
44309583Sglebius# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
45309583Sglebius# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
46309583Sglebius# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
47309583Sglebius# 02:00 or 14:00.  Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
48309583Sglebius#
49309583Sglebius# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
50309583Sglebius# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
51309583Sglebius# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05.  Perhaps 38E50
52309583Sglebius# was for Adis Dera.  Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
53309583Sglebius# anyway.

317309583Sglebius# Since 1970 most of Quebec has been like Toronto; see
318309583Sglebius# America/Toronto.  However, earlier versions of the tz database
319309583Sglebius# mistakenly relied on data from Shanks & Pottenger saying that Quebec
320309583Sglebius# differed from Ontario after 1970, and the following rules and zone
