Shanks, The International Atlas (5th edition), 13# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1999). 14# 15# Gwillim Law writes that a good source 16# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport 17# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 18# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 19# of the IATA's data after 1990. 20# 21# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990, 22# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. 23# 24# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, 25# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which 26# I found in the UCLA library. 27# 28# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is 29# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997). 30# 31# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT 32# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, 33# but Mark R V Murray reports that 34# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa, 35# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and 36# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for 37# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''. 38# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference. 39# 40# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago; 41# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00, 42# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00. 43# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African 44# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara. 45# 46# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency: 47# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used) 48# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time 49# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time 50# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time 51# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation: 52# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time 53# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00 54# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of 55# until we get more information. 56# 57# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome! 58# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time 59# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used) 60# 2:44:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used) 61# 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used) 62# 3:00 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used) 63# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time 64# 4:00 EAST East Africa Summer Time (no longer used) 65 66# Algeria 67# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 68Rule Algeria 1916 only - Jun 14 23:00s 1:00 S 69Rule Algeria 1916 1919 - Oct Sun<=7 23:00s 0 - 70Rule Algeria 1917 only - Mar 24 23:00s 1:00 S 71Rule Algeria 1918 only - Mar 9 23:00s 1:00 S 72Rule Algeria 1919 only - Mar 1 23:00s 1:00 S 73Rule Algeria 1920 only - Feb 14 23:00s 1:00 S 74Rule Algeria 1920 only - Oct 23 23:00s 0 - 75Rule Algeria 1921 only - Mar 14 23:00s 1:00 S 76Rule Algeria 1921 only - Jun 21 23:00s 0 - 77Rule Algeria 1939 only - Sep 11 23:00s 1:00 S 78Rule Algeria 1939 only - Nov 19 1:00 0 - 79Rule Algeria 1944 1945 - Apr Mon<=7 2:00 1:00 S 80Rule Algeria 1944 only - Oct 8 2:00 0 - 81Rule Algeria 1945 only - Sep 16 1:00 0 - 82Rule Algeria 1971 only - Apr 25 23:00s 1:00 S 83Rule Algeria 1971 only - Sep 26 23:00s 0 - 84Rule Algeria 1977 only - May 6 0:00 1:00 S 85Rule Algeria 1977 only - Oct 21 0:00 0 - 86Rule Algeria 1978 only - Mar 24 1:00 1:00 S 87Rule Algeria 1978 only - Sep 22 3:00 0 - 88Rule Algeria 1980 only - Apr 25 0:00 1:00 S 89Rule Algeria 1980 only - Oct 31 2:00 0 - 90# Shanks gives 0:09 for Paris Mean Time;
