Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition), 11# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). 12# 13# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source 14# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport 15# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 16# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 17# of the IATA's data after 1990. 18# 19# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990, 20# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. 21# 22# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, 23# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which 24# I found in the UCLA library. 25# 26# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is 27# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude, 28# Oxford University Press (1980). 29# 30# I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy. 31# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where 32# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and 33# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region. 34# For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'. 35# 36# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names, 37# in decreasing order of importance: 38# 39# Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.', 40# `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'. 41# E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. 42# Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. 43# One such location is enough. 44# If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970, 45# don't bother to include more than one location 46# even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970. 47# Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large. 48# If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; 49# e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so 50# prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'. 51# Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries 52# or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split 53# locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris' 54# to `France', since France has had multiple time zones. 55# Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and 56# prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters). 57# The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule. 58# Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, 59# e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with 60# similar populations, pick the best-known location, 61# e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'. 62# Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'. 63# Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that 64# would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to 65# `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City', 66# but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country 67# of Mexico has several time zones. 68# Use `_' to represent a space. 69# Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena' 70# to `St._Helena'. 71# 72# For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules, 73# in decreasing order of importance: 74# 75# Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters, 76# except use "___" for locations while uninhabited. 77# Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to 78# upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions. 79# Previous editions of this database also used characters like 80# ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to 81# the shell and cause commands like 82# set `date` 83# to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could 84# be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case 85# Ascii letters (and "___"). 86# Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, 87# e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. 88# We assume that applications translate them to other languages 89# as part of the normal localization process; for example, 90# a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'. 91# For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the 92# traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time. 93# The only name like this in current use is `GMT'. 94# If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English 95# translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers. 96# If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country 97# (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then: 98# 99# When a country has a single or principal time zone region, 100# append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for 101# Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST'; 102# for double summer time append `DST'; etc. 103# When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three 104# letters of an English place name identifying each zone 105# and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before; 106# e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time. 107# 108# 109# For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations. 110# LMT Local Mean Time 111# -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used) 112# 0:00 WAT West Africa Time 113# 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time 114# 2:00 SAT South Africa Time 115# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time 116# The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'. 117# BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after. 118 119 120# Algeria 121# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 122Rule Algeria 1916 only - Jun 14 23:00s 1:00 S 123Rule Algeria 1916 1919 - Oct Sun<=7 23:00s 0 - 124Rule Algeria 1917 only - Mar 24 23:00s 1:00 S 125Rule Algeria 1918 only - Mar 9 23:00s 1:00 S 126Rule Algeria 1919 only - Mar 1 23:00s 1:00 S 127Rule Algeria 1920 only - Feb 14 23:00s 1:00 S 128Rule Algeria 1920 only - Oct 23 23:00s 0 - 129Rule Algeria 1921 only - Mar 14 23:00s 1:00 S 130Rule Algeria 1921 only - Jun 21 23:00s 0 - 131Rule Algeria 1939 only - Sep 11 23:00s 1:00 S 132Rule Algeria 1939 only - Nov 19 1:00 0 - 133Rule Algeria 1944 1945 - Apr Mon<=7 2:00 1:00 S 134Rule Algeria 1944 only - Oct 8 2:00 0 - 135Rule Algeria 1945 only - Sep 16 1:00 0 - 136Rule Algeria 1971 only - Apr 25 23:00s 1:00 S 137Rule Algeria 1971 only - Sep 26 23:00s 0 - 138Rule Algeria 1977 only - May 6 0:00 1:00 S 139Rule Algeria 1977 only - Oct 21 0:00 0 - 140Rule Algeria 1978 only - Mar 24 1:00 1:00 S 141Rule Algeria 1978 only - Sep 22 3:00 0 - 142Rule Algeria 1980 only - Apr 25 0:00 1:00 S 143Rule Algeria 1980 only - Oct 31 2:00 0 - 144# Shanks gives 0:09 for Paris Mean Time; go with Howse's more precise 0:09:21. 145# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 146Zone Africa/Algiers 0:12:12 - LMT 1891 Mar 15 0:01 147 0:09:21 - PMT 1911 Mar 11 # Paris Mean Time 148 0:00 Algeria WE%sT 1940 Feb 25 2:00 149 1:00 Algeria CE%sT 1946 Oct 7 150 0:00 - WET 1956 Jan 29 151 1:00 - CET 1963 Apr 14 152 0:00 Algeria WE%sT 1977 Oct 21 153 1:00 Algeria CE%sT 1979 Oct 26 154 0:00 Algeria WE%sT 1981 May 155 1:00 - CET 156 157# Angola 158# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 159Zone Africa/Luanda 0:52:56 - LMT 1892 160 0:52:04 - LMT 1911 May 26 # Luanda Mean Time? 161 1:00 - CAT 162 163# Bassas da India 164# uninhabited 165 166# Benin 167# Whitman says they switched to 1:00 in 1946, not 1934; go with Shanks. 168# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 169Zone Africa/Porto-Novo 0:10:28 - LMT 1912 170 0:00 - WAT 1934 Feb 26 171 1:00 - CAT 172 173# Botswana 174# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 175Zone Africa/Gaborone 1:43:40 - LMT 1885 176 2:00 - SAT 1943 Sep 19 2:00 177 2:00 1:00 SAST 1944 Mar 19 2:00 178 2:00 - SAT 179 180# Burkina Faso 181# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 182Zone Africa/Ouagadougou -0:06:04 - LMT 1912 183 0:00 - WAT 184 185# Burundi 186# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 187Zone Africa/Bujumbura 1:57:28 - LMT 1890 188 2:00 - SAT 189 190# Cameroon 191# Whitman says they switched to 1:00 in 1920; go with Shanks. 192# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 193Zone Africa/Douala 0:38:48 - LMT 1912 194 1:00 - CAT 195 196# Cape Verde 197# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 198Zone Atlantic/Cape_Verde -1:34:04 - LMT 1907 # Praia 199 -2:00 - CVT 1942 Sep 200 -2:00 1:00 CVST 1945 Oct 15 201 -2:00 - CVT 1975 Nov 25 2:00 202 -1:00 - CVT 203 204# Central African Republic 205# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 206Zone Africa/Bangui 1:14:20 - LMT 1912 207 1:00 - CAT 208 209# Chad 210# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 211Zone Africa/Ndjamena 1:00:12 - LMT 1912 212 1:00 - CAT 1979 Oct 14 213 1:00 1:00 CAST 1980 Mar 8 214 1:00 - CAT 215 216# Comoros 217# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 218Zone Indian/Comoro 2:53:04 - LMT 1911 Jul # Moroni, Gran Comoro 219 3:00 - EAT 220 221# Congo 222# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 223Zone Africa/Brazzaville 1:01:08 - LMT 1912 224 1:00 - CAT 225 226# Cote D'Ivoire 227# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 228Zone Africa/Abidjan -0:16:08 - LMT 1912 229 0:00 - WAT 230 231# Djibouti 232# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 233Zone Africa/Djibouti 2:52:36 - LMT 1911 Jul 234 3:00 - EAT 235 236############################################################################### 237 238# Egypt 239 240# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): 241# Egypt: DST from first day of May to first of October (ending may 242# also be on Sept 30th not 31st -- you might want to ask one of the 243# soc.* groups, you might hit someone who could ask an embassy). 244# DST since 1960 except for 1981-82. 245 246# From U.
