11# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
12
13# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
14# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
15# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
16# the file 'backward'.
17
18# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
19# pre-1970 time stamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
20# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
21# most of the era.  Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
22# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file.  Many of
23# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
24# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
25# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 time stamps.
26
27# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
28# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
29# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
30# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
31
32# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
33# assumes rules from other files.  In the tz distribution, use
34# 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file.
35
36# Zones are sorted by zone name.  Each zone is preceded by the
37# name of the country that the zone is in, along with any other
38# commentary and rules associated with the entry.
39#
40# As explained in the zic man page, the zone columns are:
41# Zone	NAME		GMTOFF	RULES	FORMAT	[UNTIL]

43# Ethiopia
44# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
45# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
46# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
47# 02:00 or 14:00.  Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
48#
49# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
50# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
51# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05.  Perhaps 38E50
52# was for Adis Dera.  Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
53# anyway.

546# From Lester Caine (2013-09-04):
547# The Isle of Man legislation is now on-line at
548# <https://www.legislation.gov.im>, starting with the original Statutory
549# Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of
550# the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at
551# Westminster.  There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date
552# of the first summer time in 1916 which may have been announced a
553# couple of days late.  There is still a substantial number of
554# documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change
