Shanks, The International Atlas (4th edition), +# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1995). +# +# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> 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 is the source for entries through 1990, +# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. +# +# 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 the discovery of the longitude, +# Oxford University Press (1980). +# +# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT +# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, +# but Mark R V Murray <markm@iafrica.com> 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;
