  32 # From Paul Eggert (2017-04-09):
  33 #
  34 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
  35 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
  36 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
  37 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
  38 #
  39 # Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
  40 # for time zone data was the International Air Transport
  41 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
  42 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
  43 # of the IATA's data after 1990.  Except where otherwise noted,
  44 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
  45 #
  46 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
  47 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
  48 # I found in the UCLA library.
  49 #
  50 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
  51 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
  52 # https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359


  57 # European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean.
  58 # For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
  59 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
  60 # for UT +00 through +03, respectively,
  61 # but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that
  62 # 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa,
  63 # 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
  64 # 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
  65 # the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
  66 #
  67 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
  68 #        +00    GMT     Greenwich Mean Time
  69 #        +02    CAT     Central Africa Time
  70 #        +02    SAST    South Africa Standard Time
  71 # and Murray suggested the following abbreviation:
  72 #        +01    WAT     West Africa Time
  73 # Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like.
  74 # I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but
  75 # cannot now come up with solid citations.
  76 #
  77 # I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
  78 #        +02    WAST    West Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
  79 #        +03    CAST    Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
  80 #        +03    SAST    South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
  81 #        +03    EAT     East Africa Time
  82 # 'EAT' also seems to have caught on; the others are rare but are paired
  83 # with better-attested non-DST abbreviations.

 405 # "to advance the time observed locally by the space of twenty minutes

 839 # From Milamber (2015-06-08):
 840 # (Google Translation) The hour will thus be delayed 60 minutes
 841 # Sunday, June 14 at 3:00, the ministry said in a statement, adding
 842 # that the time will be advanced again 60 minutes Sunday, July 19,
 843 # 2015 at 2:00.  The move comes under 2.12.126 Decree of 26 Jumada I

 845 # 16 N. 3-29-15 Chaaban 1435 (4 June 2015).

 852 # From Michael Deckers (2015-06-09):
 853 # [The gov.ma announcement] would (probably) make the switch on 2015-07-19 go
 854 # from 03:00 to 04:00 rather than from 02:00 to 03:00, as in the patch....
 855 # I think the patch is correct and the quoted text is wrong; the text in
 856 # <https://lnt.ma/le-maroc-reculera-dune-heure-le-dimanche-14-juin/> agrees
 857 # with the patch.
 858 
 859 # From Paul Eggert (2015-06-08):
 860 # For now, guess that later spring and fall transitions will use 2015's rules,
 861 # and guess that Morocco will switch to standard time at 03:00 the last
 862 # Sunday before Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Sunday after
 863 # Ramadan.  To implement this, transition dates for 2016 through 2037 were

  26 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
  27 # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.

  29 # This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,

  33 
  34 # From Paul Eggert (2018-05-27):
  35 #
  36 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
  37 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
  38 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
  39 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
  40 #
  41 # Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
  42 # for time zone data was the International Air Transport
  43 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
  44 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
  45 # of the IATA's data after 1990.  Except where otherwise noted,
  46 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
  47 #
  48 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
  49 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
  50 # I found in the UCLA library.
  51 #
  52 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
  53 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
  54 # https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359


  59 # European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean.
  60 # For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
  61 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
  62 # for UT +00 through +03, respectively,
  63 # but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that
  64 # 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa,
  65 # 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
  66 # 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
  67 # the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
  68 #
  69 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
  70 #        +00    GMT     Greenwich Mean Time
  71 #        +02    CAT     Central Africa Time
  72 #        +02    SAST    South Africa Standard Time
  73 # and Murray suggested the following abbreviation:
  74 #        +01    WAT     West Africa Time
  75 # Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like.
  76 # I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but
  77 # cannot now come up with solid citations.
  78 #
  79 # I invented the following abbreviations in the 1990s:
  80 #        +02    WAST    West Africa Summer Time
  81 #        +03    CAST    Central Africa Summer Time
  82 #        +03    SAST    South Africa Summer Time
  83 #        +03    EAT     East Africa Time
  84 # 'EAT' seems to have caught on and is in current timestamps, and though
  85 # the other abbreviations are rarer and are only in past timestamps,
  86 # they are paired with better-attested non-DST abbreviations.
  87 # Corrections are welcome.
