Please make the necessary changes in the Brazilian rules, since I am not familiar with the syntax. Enclosed is a draft of a revision of the "southamerica" part of 1999h, where I have inserted the following new lines: # From Stefan Johansson <jason@stefan-johansson.com> (1999-10-02): # Decree 3188 alters decree 3150 adding more states for DST starting 1999-10-03. # Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV99.gif">3,188</a> # (1999-09-30), maintains the dates of Decree 3,150, but includes also the following states: # SE, AL, PE, PB, RN, CE, PI, MA and RR. As a consequence, I would like to suggest the following Brazilian time zones: # Fernando de Noronha, Martin Vaz, Trindade Zone America/Noronha # Amapa, east Para Zone America/Belem # Maranhao, Piaui, Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraiba, Pernambuco (except # Fernando de Noronha) Zone America/Fortaleza # Tocantins Zone America/Palmas (capital of TO) # Alagoas, Sergipe Zone America/Maceio # Bahia, Goias, Distrito Federal, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, Rio de # Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul Zone America/Brasilia # Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul Zone America/Cuiaba # Roraima Zone America/Boa_Vista # west Para, Rondonia Zone America/Porto_Velho # Amazonas Zone America/Manaus # Acre Zone America/Porto_Acre Sincerely, Stefan Johansson ----- Original Message ----- From: Olson, Arthur David (NCI) <olsona@dc37a.nci.nih.gov> To: 'Stefan Johansson' <jason@stefan-johansson.com> Sent: Monday, November 01, 1999 2:22 PM Subject: RE: Brazilian Time Zones and DST
It looks as if ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata1999h.tar.gz reflects the correct start and stop dates for Brazil.
