11bf311e | 8 | # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |

10 | # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is | |
11bf311e UD |
11 | # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), |
12 | # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). | |
8a523922 | 13 | # |
1f5649f8 | 14 | # Gwillim Law writes that a good source |
8a523922 UD |
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 | # | |
11bf311e UD |
20 | # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for |
21 | # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards. | |
28f540f4 RM |
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 | # | |
a5570f62 | 27 | # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is |
38c097ca | 28 | # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997). |

30 | # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT |
31 | # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, | |
6c49b464 | 32 | # but Mark R V Murray reports that |
dfd2257a UD |
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) | |
