My correspondent, Risto Nykänen, has alerted me to another adoption of DST, this time in Tunisia. According to Yahoo France News (http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050426/5/4dumk.html), in a story attributed to AP and dated 2005-04-26, "Tunisia has decided to advance its official time by one hour, starting on Sunday, May 1. Henceforth, Tunisian time will be UTC+2 instead of UTC+1. The change will take place at 23:00 UTC next Saturday." (My translation) The http://www.worldtimezone.com/daylight.html site says that Tunisian DST ends September 30. I was unable to find any confirmation of that date. -- Gwillim Law
