-
-# 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.
-#
-# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
-# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
-# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
-# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
-# _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
-# in Europe and South America.
-# -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in
-# H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466
-#
-# Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
-# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
-# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in
-# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):
-# The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in
-# Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the
-# "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city.
-# The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or
-# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such
-# name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".
-# So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now.
-# Corrections are welcome!

-# So Buenos Aires should be -3 hours from GMT at all times.
-#
-# From Fabian L. Arce Jofre (2000-04-04):
-# The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando
-# de la Rua on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy
-# in the winter time, rather than less. The change took effect on March 3.
-#
-# From Mariano Absatz (2001-06-06):
-# one of the major newspapers here in Argentina said that the 1999
-# Timezone Law (which never was effectively applied) will (would?) be
-# in effect.... The article is at
-# http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-06/e-01701.htm
-# ... The Law itself is "Ley No 25155", sanctioned on 1999-08-25, enacted
-# 1999-09-17, and published 1999-09-21. The official publication is at:
-# http://www.boletin.jus.gov.ar/BON/Primera/1999/09-Septiembre/21/PDF/BO21-09-99LEG.PDF
-# Regretfully, you have to subscribe (and pay) for the on-line version....
-#
-# (2001-06-12):
-# the timezone for Argentina will not change next Sunday.
-# Apparently it will do so on Sunday 24th....
-# http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-12/s-03501.htm
-#
-# (2001-06-25):
-# Last Friday (yes, the last working day before the date of the change), the
-# Senate annulled the 1999 law that introduced the changes later postponed.
-# http://www.clarin.com.ar/diario/2001-06-22/s-03601.htm
-# It remains the vote of the Deputies..., but it will be the same....
-# This kind of things had always been done this way in Argentina.
-# We are still -03:00 all year round in all of the country.
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-12-21):
-# A user (Leonardo Chaim) reported that Argentina will adopt DST....
-# all of the country (all Zone-entries) are affected. News reports like
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/opinion/nota.asp?nota_id=973037 indicate
-# that Argentina will use DST next year as well, from October to
-# March, although exact rules are not given.
-#
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2007-12-26)
-# The last hurdle of Argentina DST is over, the proposal was approved in
-# the lower chamber too (Deputados) with a vote 192 for and 2 against.
-# By the way thanks to Mariano Absatz and Daniel Mario Vega for the link to
-# the original scanned proposal, where the dates and the zero hours are

-# its timezone this winter... starting tomorrow night....
-# http://www.gobernac.mendoza.gov.ar/boletin/pdf/20040521-27158-normas.pdf
-# From Paul Eggert (2004-05-24):
-# It's Law No. 7,210. This change is due to a public power emergency, so for
-# now we'll assume it's for this year only.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# <a href="http://www.spicasc.net/horvera.html">
-# Hora de verano para la Republica Argentina (2003-06-08)
-# </a> says that standard time in Argentina from 1894-10-31
-# to 1920-05-01 was -4:16:48.25. Go with this more-precise value
-# over Shanks & Pottenger.
-#
-# From Mariano Absatz (2004-06-05):
-# These media articles from a major newspaper mostly cover the current state:
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/05/27/de_604825.asp
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/05/28/de_605203.asp
-#
-# The following eight (8) provinces pulled clocks back to UTC-04:00 at
-# midnight Monday May 31st. (that is, the night between 05/31 and 06/01).
-# Apparently, all nine provinces would go back to UTC-03:00 at the same
-# time in October 17th.
-#
-# Catamarca, Chubut, La Rioja, San Juan, San Luis, Santa Cruz,
-# Tierra del Fuego, Tucuman.
-#
-# From Mariano Absatz (2004-06-14):
-# ... this weekend, the Province of Tucuman decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00
-# yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's
-# annoyance with the change is much higher than the power savings obtained....
-#
-# From Gwillim Law (2004-06-14):
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp ...
-# "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from
-# the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
-# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
-# three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
-# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
-# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
-# provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article
-# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
-# date than the "three days earlier" phrase, and conclude that Tierra del
-# Fuego set its clocks back at 2004-05-30 00:00.
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2004-10-05):
-# The previous law 7210 which changed the province of Mendoza's time zone
-# back in May have been modified slightly in a new law 7277, which set the
-# new end date to 2004-09-26 (original date was 2004-10-17).
-# http://www.gobernac.mendoza.gov.ar/boletin/pdf/20040924-27244-normas.pdf
-#
-# From Mariano Absatz (2004-10-05):
-# San Juan changed from UTC-03:00 to UTC-04:00 at midnight between
-# Sunday, May 30th and Monday, May 31st. It changed back to UTC-03:00

-# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-01-17):
-# Here are articles that Argentina Province San Luis is planning to end DST
-# as earlier as upcoming Monday January 21, 2008 or February 2008:
-#
-# Provincia argentina retrasa reloj y marca diferencia con resto del pais

-# <a href="http://cl.invertia.com/noticias/noticia.aspx?idNoticia=200801171849_EFE_ET4373&idtel">

-# Es inminente que en San Luis atrasen una hora los relojes

-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-01-18):
-# The page of the San Luis provincial government
-# <a href="http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812">
-# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812
-# </a>
-# confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
-# emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
-# time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
-# confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
-# refused to follow San Luis in this change.
-#
-# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21.st at 0:00
-# hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need
-# a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented
-# independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in
-# 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-01-25):
-# Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
-# time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
-# important pages of 2008."
-#
-# You can use
-# <a href="http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834">
-# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
-# </a>
-# instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
-# government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
-# from which the first one is identical to the above.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
-# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
-# province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
-# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
-# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
-# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
-#
-# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
-# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
-# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
-# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
-# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
-# back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
-# mailed them personally and never got an answer).
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2008-03-15):
-# Until there's better information, asssume San Luis was like San Juan
-# rather than Mendoza (since San Juan has a simpler DST history).
-
-# Unless otherwise specified, data are from Shanks & Pottenger through 1992,
-# from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
-# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, but we

-# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
-# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
-# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
-# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
-# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
-# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
-
-# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
-# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
-# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
-# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO),
-# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
-# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
-
-# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
-# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other
-# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
-# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
-# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
-# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
-# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
-# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
-# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
-# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
-# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
-# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
-# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
-# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
-# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
-# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE),
-# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do
-# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

-# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27):
-# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html">
-# Brazilian official page
-# </a>
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard (2000-11-03):
-# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:]
-# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
-# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
-
-# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
-# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
-#
-# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
-# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
-# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
-# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
-# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
-# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
-# take place on October 27th.
-#
-# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
-# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
-# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
-# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
-# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
-
-# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
-# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
-# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
-# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
-# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

-# Chile
-
-# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
-# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
-# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
-# (1998-09-29):
-# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
-# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
-# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
-
-# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
-# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
-# on April 3, (one-time change).
-
-# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
-# http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-10-08):
-# I think that there are some obvious mistakes in the suggested link
-# from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66 says that GMT-4
-# ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1990-09-15
-# (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 respectively), but
-# anyhow it clears up some doubts too.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-12-27):
-# The following data for Chile and America/Santiago are from
-# <http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm> (2006-09-20), transcribed by
-# Jesper Norgaard Welen. The data for Pacific/Easter are from Shanks
-# & Pottenger, except with DST transitions after 1932 cloned from
-# America/Santiago. The pre-1980 Pacific/Easter data are dubious,
-# but we have no other source.
-
-# From German Poo-Caaman~o (2008-03-03):
-# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This
-# is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago
-# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)
-# The Supreme Decree is located at

-# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
-#
-# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
-# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
-# what was said then:
-#
-# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
-# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
-# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
-# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
-# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
-# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
-# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
-# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
-# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
-# as UK or Chile."
-#
-# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
-# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
-# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
-#
-# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
-# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
-# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
-# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
-# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
-# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
-#
-# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
-# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
-# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
-# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
-# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
-# better info.
