-# <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; corrections are welcome!
-# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
-# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
-# 2:44:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
-# 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
-# 3:00 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
-# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time
-# 4:00 EAST East Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
