# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
# tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).

# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
#
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
#
# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
# published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
# of the IATA's data after 1990.
#
# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
#
# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
# I found in the UCLA library.
#
# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude,
# Oxford University Press (1980).
#
# I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy.
# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where
# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and
# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region.
# For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'.
#
# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names,
# in decreasing order of importance:
#
#	Use only valid Posix file names.  Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.',
#		`-' and `_'.  Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'.
#		E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'.
#	Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country.
#		One such location is enough.
#	If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970,
#		don't bother to include more than one location
#		even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
#		Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
#	If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
#		e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so
#		prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'.
#	Keep locations compact.  Use cities or small islands, not countries
#		or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
#		locations into different time zones.  E.g. prefer `Paris'
#		to `France', since France has had multiple time zones.
#	Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and
#		prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters).
#		The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule.
#	Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone,
#		e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'.  Among locations with
#		similar populations, pick the best-known location,
#		e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'.
#	Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'.
#	Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that
#		would lead to ambiguity.  E.g. prefer `Cayman' to
#		`Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City',
#		but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country
#		of Mexico has several time zones.
#	Use `_' to represent a space.
#	Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena'
#		to `St._Helena'.
#
# For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules,
# in decreasing order of importance:
#
#	Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters,
#		except use "___" for locations while uninhabited.
#		Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to
#		upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions.
#		Previous editions of this database also used characters like
#		' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
#		the shell and cause commands like
#			set `date`
#		to have unexpected effects.  In theory, the character set could
#		be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case
#		Ascii letters (and "___").
#	Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
#		e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
#		We assume that applications translate them to other languages
#		as part of the normal localization process; for example,
#		a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'.
#	For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
#		traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
#		The only name like this in current use is `GMT'.
#	If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
#		translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
#		If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
#		(e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then:
#
#		When a country has a single or principal time zone region,
#			append `T' to the country's ISO	code, e.g. `CVT' for
#			Cape Verde Time.  For summer time append `ST';
#			for double summer time append `DST'; etc.
#		When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three
#			letters of an English place name identifying each zone
#			and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before;
#			e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time.
#
#
# For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations.
#		LMT	Local Mean Time
#	-1:00	AAT	Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used)
#	 0:00	WAT	West Africa Time
#	 1:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
#	 2:00	SAT	South Africa Time
#	 3:00	EAT	East Africa Time
# The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'.
# BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after.
