# @(#)africa 8.5# <pre># 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 (2006-03-22):## A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).## Gwillim Law 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 & Pottenger is the source for# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.## 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 longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).## Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,# but Mark R V Murray reports that# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.## To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.## To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of# until we get more information.## I invented the following abbreviations;
