     8 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
       
     9 #
       
    10 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
       
    11 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
       
    12 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
       
    13 #
       
    14 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source
       
    15 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
       
    16 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
       
    17 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
       
    18 # of the IATA's data after 1990.
       
    19 #
       
    20 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
       
    21 # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
       
    22 #
       
    23 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
       
    24 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
       
    25 # I found in the UCLA library.
       
    26 #
       
    27 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
       
    28 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
       
    29 #
       
    30 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
       
    31 # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
       
    32 # but Mark R V Murray reports that
       
    33 # `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
       
    34 # `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
       
    35 # `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
       
    36 # the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
       
    37 # He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
       
    38 #
       
    39 # To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
       
    40 # I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
       
    41 # and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
       
    42 # This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
       
    43 # mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
       
    44 #
       
    45 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
       
    46 #	-1:00	WAT	West Africa Time (no longer used)
       
    47 #	 0:00	GMT	Greenwich Mean Time
       
    48 #	 2:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
       
    49 #	 2:00	SAST	South Africa Standard Time
       
    50 # and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
       
    51 #	 1:00	WAT	West Africa Time
       
    52 # I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
       
    53 # for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
       
    54 # until we get more information.
       
    55 #
       
    56 # I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
       
    57 #	 2:00	WAST	West Africa Summer Time
       
    58 #	 2:30	BEAT	British East Africa Time (no longer used)
