4 # go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
5 # tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).
7 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
8 #
9 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
10 # Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
11 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
12 # Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
13 #
14 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
15 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
16 # I found in the UCLA library.
17 #
18 # I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy.
19 # So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where
20 # AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and
21 # LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region.
22 # For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'.
23 #
24 # Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names,
25 # in decreasing order of importance:
26 #
27 # Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.',
28 # `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'.
29 # E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'.
30 # Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country.
31 # One such location is enough.
32 # If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
33 # e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so
34 # prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'.
35 # Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
36 # or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
37 # locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris'
38 # to `France', since France has had multiple time zones.
39 # Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and
40 # prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters).
41 # The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule.
42 # Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone,
43 # e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with
44 # similar populations, pick the best-known location,
45 # e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'.
46 # Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'.
47 # Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that
48 # would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to
49 # `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City',
50 # but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country
51 # of Mexico has several time zones.
52 # Use `_' to represent a space.
53 # Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena'
54 # to `St._Helena'.
55 #
56 # We typically use traditional English time zone abbreviations,
57 # and assume that applications translate them to other languages
58 # as part of the normal localization process.
59 #
60 # I made up the following time zone abbreviations; corrections are welcome!

66 # 2:00 SAT South Africa Time

69 # The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'.
