# %W% # From Official Airline Guide - Worldwide Edition (1987). Countries not # listed here do not observe DST, according to the OAG. Time zone names # are pure inventions, and none are supplied for countries not observing # DST; updates from natives would be appreciated. The times that DST # starts and ends are based on the assumption that they switch a 2AM just # as everybody else does. # Brazil # The OAG lists October 25, 1987 and February 12, 1988 as the starting and # ending dates, giving them as "estimated date(s) based on previous year". We # infer a rule here from one example, always a dangerous practice.... Yes, # they really do switch on Saturday, according to the OAG. # "Brazil/Acre" is for the Territory of Acre; "Brazil/DeNoronha" is for # Fernando De Noronha. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Brazil 1987 max - Feb Sat<=14 2:00 0 S Rule Brazil 1987 max - Oct Sat<=28 2:00 1:00 D # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Brazil/East -3:00 Brazil E%sT Zone Brazil/West -4:00 Brazil W%sT Zone Brazil/Acre -5:00 Brazil A%sT Zone Brazil/DeNoronha -2:00 Brazil F%sT # Chile # The OAG lists October 11, 1987 and March 12, 1988 as the starting and # ending dates, giving them as "estimated date(s) based on previous year." # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Chile 1987 max - Mar Sun<=14 2:00 0 S Rule Chile 1987 max - Oct Sun<=14 2:00 1:00 D # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Chile/Continental -4:00 Chile C%sT Zone Chile/EasterIsland -6:00 Chile E%sT
