1. Are there any time zones that currently observe DST with an offset other than adding one hour? (For this question, I am treating “negative DST” zones like Europe/Dublin and Africa/Windhoek as if they observed “standard” time in winter and adjusted time in summer. Also, for this question I am only interested in current practice, not historical.) 2. Is there an easy way I could have looked up this information in the tz files? (“Easy” means without exhaustively parsing all the Rule and Zone lines, as a processor would have to do.) Thanks, -- Doug Ewell, CC, ALB | Lakewood, CO, US | ewellic.org
