* Jordan now uses DST time all year long. In April I reported that Jordan had stopped using DST. Now the government will use DST all year long, as reported in this Jordanian newspaper: http://star.arabia.com/990701/JO9.html "Summer time is back Clocks in Jordan were forwarded one hour on Wednesday at midnight, in accordance with the government's decision to implement summer time all year round." It seems that DST was introduced on 30 June at 24:00 (or 1 July 00:00).

By reading this article it seems like Fiji will be 14 hours ahead of UTC as well, but as far as I know Fiji will only be 13 hours ahead (12 + 1 hour DST). * new DST-dates for Brazil (one day longer than reported in another mail to the list) http://pcdsh01.on.br/HvInic99.htm through http://babelfish.altavista.com/ gives: BEGINNING IN 1999 Zero hour of 3 of October of 1999 ENDING IN 2000 Zero hour of 27 of February of 2000 DECREE 3.150 of 23 of August of 1999 Regards, Steffen -- Steffen Thorsen <steffen@thorsen.priv.no> <steffent@pvv.ntnu.no> http://www.thorsen.priv.no
