A question just out of curiosity: why didn't you use Zone America/Cayman -5:25:32 - LMT 1890 # Georgetown -5:07:11 - KMT 1912 Feb # Kingston Mean Time -5:00 - CIST 2016 -5:00 US CIST/CIDST without the new Rule Cayman?
Because I didn't think of it! Thanks, that's simpler. I installed the attached patch.
