It turns out that
Microsoft has acted more proactively than even tz database or World Time
Explorer, in setting
up a page for the
San Luis inhabitants that by now will wake up Monday morning to a new schedule,
one hour behind
the rest of the
country.
The page about how
to change Windows operating systems to accomodate the San Luis change, however
they
don't specify a new
timezone, instead the rather more relaxed solution to go back to either the
timezones
"(GMT-3) Buenos
Aires, Georgetown" or the intermediate timezone "(GMT-3) Georgetown" which both
represents
GMT-3 without DST
implementation all year round:
The below page
recommends how to change the Argentina DST timezone properly to have the start
and end times for
the
Argentina-country-wide change effectuated the 30.th. of December
2007:
At the time of
writing it is Sunday 2007-01-20 22:35 CST -0600 and so it should be
Monday 2007-01-21
02:35 ADT -0200 in most of Argentina and
Monday 2007-01-21
1:35 SLST -0300 in the San Luis province. (I invented SLST for San Luis Standard
Time,
it is certainly not
an official abbreviation!)
Are there any news
"on the ground" in San Luis that the change is going ahead?
I'll take action
tomorrow for WTE if this is the case.
