Paulo is not on the time zone mailing list (at least not at the address below); direct replies appropriately. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Paulo Alexandre Pinto Pires [mailto:p@ppires.org] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 11:47 AM To: tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov Subject: New rules for summer time in Brazil Dear folks, At last, Brazilian decree on summer time for 2004/2005 is out (it can be retrieved from Presidency website at <https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D5223.htm> and National Press web site at <http://www.in.gov.br/materias/xml/do/secao1/1187435.xml>). Innovations for this year include begining of summer time on a Tuesday (2004/11/02, that happens to be a religious holiday for mourning the dead). I *really* don't believe that this starting on Tuesday will last. States are the same as last year. If you have doubts, contact me. Regards, -- Pappires ...
