Hi!

I am sending modifications to the Argentinian time zone table... please check comments below to find out the source used. We did three modifications: * The table was completed for the missing years 1989-1993. * The name of the time zone was changed from America/Buenos_Aires to Argentina/Buenos_Aires * The (short) names where changed from E%sT to AR%s (AR was chosen because they are the ISO letters that represent Argentina). --- 8< ----------------------------------------------------------- ############################################################################### # Argentina # From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988): # Argentina: first Sunday in October to first Sunday in April since 1976. # Double Summer time from 1969 to 1974.
