Please see http://www.geosetter.de/mantis/view.php?id=572 for some more history. This is for Europe 8.20, but Geosetter ships with 8.12.
From this point on we are talking about 8.20 Lines 1212 to 1218 inclusive. FROM Zone Europe/Athens 1:34:52 - LMT 1895 Sep 14 1:34:52 - AMT 1916 Jul 28 0:01 # Athens MT 2:00 Greece EE%sT 1941 Apr 30 1:00 Greece CE%sT 1944 Apr 4 2:00 Greece EE%sT 1981 # Shanks & Pottenger say it switched to C-Eur in 1981; # go with EU instead, since Greece joined it on Jan 1. 2:00 EU EE%sT TO Zone Europe/Athens 1:34:52 - LMT 1895 Sep 14 1:34:52 - AMT 1916 Jul 28 0:01 # Athens MT 2:00 Greece EE%sT 1941 Apr 30 1:00 Greece CE%sT 1944 Apr 4 2:00 Greece EE%sT 1981 2:00 EU EE%sT I'm not sure where the problem lies? Maybe Geosetter can not handle the # out lines within the rules. Regards, Luke
