11# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
12#
13# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
14# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
15# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
16#
17# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
18# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
19# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
20# published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
21# of the IATA's data after 1990.
22#
23# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
24# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
25#
26# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
27# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
28# I found in the UCLA library.
29#
30# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
31# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
32#
33# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
34# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
35# but Mark R V Murray reports that
36# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
37# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
38# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
39# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
40# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
41#
42# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
43# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
44# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
45# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
46# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
47#
48# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
49#	-1:00	WAT	West Africa Time (no longer used)
50#	 0:00	GMT	Greenwich Mean Time
51#	 2:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
52#	 2:00	SAST	South Africa Standard Time
53# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
54#	 1:00	WAT	West Africa Time
55# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
56# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
57# until we get more information.
58#
59# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
60#	 2:00	WAST	West Africa Summer Time
61#	 2:30	BEAT	British East Africa Time (no longer used)
62#	 2:45	BEAUT	British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
63#	 3:00	CAST	Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
64#	 3:00	SAST	South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
65#	 3:00	EAT	East Africa Time
66#	 4:00	EAST	East Africa Summer Time (no longer used)

247# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
248# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
249# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
250# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
251# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
252# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
253# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.

255# For lack of better info, assume the new rule is last Thursday in August.

505# </a>
506# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
507# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31).  The new start
508# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
509# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
510# 
511# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date 
512# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date, 
513# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in 
514# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder 
515# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which 
516# changes two days later.

523# I guess that article in French "Le gouvernement avance l'introduction

818# While the entire country changes its time, Katima Mulilo and other
