Thanks for the reference and for the correction. It also appears to me that the current data are wrong for 1945 in Vienna, and for 1980 in Austria. The BEV seems to be saying that in Vienna daylight-saving was observed for only 10 days in 1945, allegedly. So I'll propose something like the following patch to the "europe" file in my next batch of changes, which is due soon. @@ -558,20 +558,30 @@ 1:00 EU CE%sT # Austria + +# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-28): Shanks gives 1918-06-16 and +# 1945-11-18, but the Austrian Federal Office of Metrology and +# Surveying (BEV) gives 1918-09-16 and for Vienna gives the alleged +# date of 1945-04-12 with no time.
