7 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
8 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
9 # Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
10 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
11 #
12 # Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
13 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
14 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
15 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
16 # of the IATA's data after 1990.
17 #
18 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
19 # and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.

32 # Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
33 # ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
34 # suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
35 # I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
36 # _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
37 # in Europe and South America.
38 # -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in
39 # H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466
42 # From Guy Harris:
43 # From Official Airline Guide - Worldwide Edition (1987). Countries not
44 # listed here do not observe DST, according to the OAG. Time zone names
45 # are pure inventions, and none are supplied for countries not observing
46 # DST; updates from natives would be appreciated. The times that DST
47 # starts and ends are based on the assumption that they switch a 2AM just

188 # From Guy Harris:
189 # The OAG lists 1987-10-25 and 1988-02-12 as the starting and
190 # ending dates, giving them as "estimated date(s) based on previous year". We
191 # infer a rule here from one example, always a dangerous practice.... Yes,
192 # they really do switch on Saturday, according to the OAG.
193 # "[America/Porto_Acre]" is for the Territory of Acre;
194 # "[America/Noronha]" is for Fernando De Noronha.
196 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18):
197 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
198 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
199 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
200 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
201 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
203 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
204 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
205 # Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
206 # Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO),
207 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
208 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
210 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
211 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other
212 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
213 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
214 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
215 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
216 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
217 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
218 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
219 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
220 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
221 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
222 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
223 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
224 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
225 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE),
226 # Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do
227 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.
229 # From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
230 # Let's make the following assumptions:
231 #
232 # * All data in Shanks are correct through 1990. In particular,
233 # Shanks was right when he said Acre stopped observing DST in mid-1988.
234 # * Areas where Shanks reports DST up to 1990, but the IATA reports no DST
235 # in 1995, stopped observing DST in mid-1990.
236 #
237 # Under these assumptions Brazil needs 7 entries to cover all the distinct
238 # time zone histories since 1970:
239 #
240 # Noronha (UTC-2), Fortaleza (UTC-3), and Manaus (UTC-4) stopped observing DST
241 # in mid-1990.
242 # Maceio (UTC-3) stopped observing DST in mid-1990, but started again mid-1995.
243 # Sao Paulo (UTC-3) and Cuiaba (UTC-4) always observed DST.
244 # Porto Acre (UTC-5) stopped observing DST in mid-1988.
