abe listed a bunch of time zones like ``Java Time'' that are no longer in use, at least according to usno1989. I think those zones date back to colonial times. Also, usno1989's info for the ex-Soviet Union is woefully out of date due to the March 1991 time zone reforms in the (then-) SU. E.g. I think Uelen is now +1200 (+1300 summer), not +1300 (+1400 summer).
As Paul knows, since he and I have corresponded about it, my list is constructed from all the abbreviations I have seen used in electronic mail headers or described in some official list, however old it may be. Vic
