Forget I said that... I can see daylight time ran from 1-Oct-1916 to 28-Feb-1917.

Thanks,
Russ

Thanks for the info.

If there is no corresponding rule - how do you know when daylight/summer time starts/finishes?

The line means

Until Feb 1917, add 10h offset to get standard time, and 1 more hour for local wall time (EST). This shortcut represents "daylight/summer' time, without having to use a rule record.

Hi,

I hope i'm not wasting your time.  I'm attempting to read the tz database into a c# application, and I'm not sure how to interpret this entry:

Zone Australia/Hobart    9:49:16    -    LMT    1895 Sep
           10:00    -    EST    1916 Oct 1 2:00
           10:00    1:00    EST    1917 Feb
           10:00    Aus    EST    1967
           10:00    AT    EST

What is the significance of the "1:00" on the row ending in "1917 Feb".  Do I just add this to the 10:00 offset?

Thanks,
Russell
