I'm new, so please ignore this if it's garbage. The most recent comment in the *australasia* file on Samoa from Laupue Raymond Hughes (2011-09-02) gives a link to a Samoan goverment website ( http://www.mcil.gov.ws/mcil_publications.html) and gives the dates of DST switches for September 2011 and April 2012. The actual database is correct for April 2012 but gives no future rule. According to the website " Samoa will be one hour ahead of NZ (+12Hrs, in Daylight Saving +13Hrs) " this is consistent with the 2012 date given on the website: *Year**End**Time**Start**Time*2011- - -- - -24 September3:00am to 4:00am 201201 April4:00am to 3:00am- - -- - - (it's wrong for the 2011 date by one day, but that might be because of the weird one day jump at the end of 2011???) I suggest the rule for the future is updated to be similar to New Zealand but changing one hour later. Something like: Rule WS 2012 max - Sep lastSun 3:00s 1:00 D Rule WS 2012 max - Apr Sun>=1 3:00s 0 S Please excuse me if my syntax is wrong. Samuel -- Samuel Colvin S@muelColvin.com,
