Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition), 11# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). 12# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below. 13# 14# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, 15# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which 16# I found in the UCLA library. 17# 18# I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy. 19# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where 20# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and 21# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region. 22# For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'. 23# 24# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names, 25# in decreasing order of importance: 26# 27# Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.', 28# `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'. 29# E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. 30# Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. 31# One such location is enough. 32# If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; 33# e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so 34# prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'. 35# Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries 36# or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split 37# locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris' 38# to `France', since France has had multiple time zones. 39# Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and 40# prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters). 41# The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule. 42# Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, 43# e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with 44# similar populations, pick the best-known location, 45# e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'. 46# Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'. 47# Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that 48# would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to 49# `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City', 50# but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country 51# of Mexico has several time zones. 52# Use `_' to represent a space. 53# Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena' 54# to `St._Helena'. 55# 56# I made up the following time zone abbreviations; corrections are welcome! 57# LMT Local Mean Time 58# -2:00 CVT Cape Verde Time (no longer used) 59# -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time 60# 0:00 WAT West Africa Time 61# 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time 62# 2:00 SAT South Africa Time 63# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time 64# 4:00 SMT Seychelles and Mascarene Time 65# The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'. 66# BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after. 67 68 69# Algeria 70# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 71Rule Algeria 1911 only - Jan 1 0:00s 0 - 72Rule Algeria 1916 only - Jun 14 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 73Rule Algeria 1916 1919 - Oct Sun<=7 23:00s 0 - 74Rule Algeria 1917 only - Mar 24 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 75Rule Algeria 1918 only - Mar 9 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 76Rule Algeria 1919 only - Mar 1 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 77Rule Algeria 1920 only - Feb 14 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 78Rule Algeria 1920 only - Oct 23 23:00s 0 - 79Rule Algeria 1921 only - Mar 14 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 80Rule Algeria 1921 only - Jun 21 23:00s 0 - 81Rule Algeria 1939 only - Sep 11 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 82Rule Algeria 1939 only - Nov 19 1:00 0 - 83Rule Algeria 1944 1945 - Apr Mon<=7 2:00 1:00 " DST" 84Rule Algeria 1944 only - Oct 8 2:00 0 - 85Rule Algeria 1945 only - Sep 16 1:00 0 - 86Rule Algeria 1971 only - Apr 25 23:00s 1:00 " DST" 87Rule Algeria 1971 only - Sep 26 23:00s 0 - 88Rule Algeria 1977 only - May 6 0:00 1:00 " DST" 89Rule Algeria 1977 only - Oct 21 0:00 0 - 90Rule Algeria 1978 only - Mar 24 1:00 1:00 " DST" 91Rule Algeria 1978 only - Sep 22 3:00 0 - 92Rule Algeria 1980 only - Apr 25 0:00 1:00 " DST" 93Rule Algeria 1980 only - Oct 31 2:00 0 - 94# Shanks gives 0:09 for Paris Mean Time; go with Whitman's more precise 0:09:05. 95# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 96Zone Africa/Algiers 0:12:12 - LMT 1891 Mar 15 0:01 97 0:09:05 - PMT 1911 Mar 11 # Paris Mean Time 98 0:00 Algeria WET%s 1940 Feb 25 2:00 99 1:00 Algeria MET%s 1946 Oct 7 100 0:00 - WET 1956 Jan 29 101 1:00 - MET 1963 Apr 14 102 0:00 Algeria WET%s 1977 Oct 21 103 1:00 Algeria MET%s 1979 Oct 26 104 0:00 Algeria WET%s 1981 May 105 1:00 - MET 106 107# Angola 108# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 109Zone Africa/Luanda 0:52:56 - LMT 1892 110 0:52 - LMT 1911 May 26 # Luanda Mean Time 111 1:00 - CAT 112 113# Benin 114# Whitman says they switched to 1:00 in 1946, not 1934; go with Shanks. 115# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 116Zone Africa/Porto-Novo 0:10:28 - LMT 1912 117 0:00 - WAT 1934 Feb 26 118 1:00 - CAT 119 120# Botswana 121# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 122Zone Africa/Gaborone 1:43:40 - LMT 1885 123 2:00 - SAT 1943 Sep 19 2:00 124 2:00 1:00 SAST 1944 Mar 19 2:00 125 2:00 - SAT 126 127# Burkina Faso 128# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 129Zone Africa/Ouagadougou -0:06:04 - LMT 1912 130 0:00 - WAT 131 132# Burundi 133# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 134Zone Africa/Bujumbura 1:57:28 - LMT 1890 135 2:00 - SAT 136 137# Cameroon 138# Whitman says they switched to 1:00 in 1920; go with Shanks. 139# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 140Zone Africa/Douala 0:38:48 - LMT 1912 141 1:00 - CAT 142 143# Cape Verde 144# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 145Zone Atlantic/Cape_Verde -1:34:04 - LMT 1907 # Praia 146 -2:00 - CVT 1942 Sep 147 -2:00 1:00 CVST 1945 Oct 15 148 -2:00 - CVT 1975 Nov 25 2:00 149 -1:00 - AAT 150 151# Central African Republic 152# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 153Zone Africa/Bangui 1:14:20 - LMT 1912 154 1:00 - CAT 155 156# Chad 157# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 158Zone Africa/Ndjamena 1:00:12 - LMT 1912 159 1:00 - CAT 1979 Oct 14 160 1:00 1:00 CAST 1980 Mar 8 161 1:00 - CAT 162 163# Comoros 164# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 165Zone Indian/Comoro 2:53:04 - LMT 1911 Jul # Moroni, Gran Comoro 166 3:00 - EAT 167 168# Congo 169# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 170Zone Africa/Brazzaville 1:01:08 - LMT 1912 171 1:00 - CAT 172 173# Cote D'Ivoire 174# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 175Zone Africa/Abidjan -0:16:08 - LMT 1912 176 0:00 - WAT 177 178# Djibouti 179# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 180Zone Africa/Djibouti 2:52:36 - LMT 1911 Jul 181 3:00 - EAT 182 183############################################################################### 184 185# Egypt 186 187# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988): 188# Egypt: DST from first day of May to first of October (ending may 189# also be on Sept 30th not 31st -- you might want to ask one of the 190# soc.* groups, you might hit someone who could ask an embassy). 191# DST since 1960 except for 1981-82. 192 193# From U.
