Re: proposed time zone package changes
I was able to check the 1933 Session Laws of Hawaii today; the revised "northamerica" changes below (against the current ftp version) reflect what I found. Also, in the "tz-art.htm" file, the addition of material on Ken Nordine (as well as the already circulated addition of material on Conan O'Brien). I still plan to update the ftp version on 2011-01-24. --ado diff -c -r old/northamerica new/northamerica *** old/northamerica Mon Nov 1 09:18:22 2010 --- new/northamerica Wed Jan 19 14:12:58 2011 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)northamerica 8.34 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)northamerica 8.37 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 471,490 **** # three votes for and one against." # Hawaii # ! # From Arthur David Olson: ! # And then there's Hawaii. ! # DST was observed for one day in 1933; ! # standard time was changed by half an hour in 1947; ! # it's always standard as of 1986. ! # ! # From Paul Eggert: ! # Shanks says the 1933 experiment lasted for three weeks.

Great catch; thanks.

Is the spelling of the journal name correct, or should it have two -ii- in the middle? Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@gmail.com>
There should indeed be -ii- in the middle; now fixed.
