-# People's Republic of China.  Yes, they really have only one time zone.

-# No they don't.  See TIME mag, February 17, 1986 p.52.  Even though
-# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
-# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized.  Since that date, China
-# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
-# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region).  I don't know about DST for it.
-#
-# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too

-# From Ephraim Silverberg (April 18, 1989):
-
-# Prior to 1989, the rules concerning Daylight Savings Time changed every
-# year; as information, regarding exact times and dates during this period,
-# is not readily available at the present time, the rules commence starting
-# with the year 1989.
-
-# From 1989 onwards the rules are as follows:
-#
-# 1. Daylight Savings Time commences midnight of the first Saturday night
-#    following the seven-day festival of Pesach (Passover).  The transition
-#    is from midnight Israel Standard Time to 1 a.m. Israel Daylight Savings
-#    time.  As the Pesach festival is dependent on the Lunar calendar (the
-#    first day is always on the 15th day of the month of Nisan), the rule
-#    changes every year on the Gregorian calendar.
-#
-# 2. Standard Time is reinstated on the Saturday night whereupon Jews
-#    following the Ashkenazi (European) rite begin to recite the Selichot
-#    (forgiveness) prayers prior to the Jewish Lunar New Year.  The transition
-#    is from midnight Israel Daylight Savings time to 11 p.m. Israel Standard
-#    Time.  The law (according to the Ashkenazi custom) concerning the
-#    commencement of the Selichot prayers is described in chapter 128, section
-#    5 of the "Code of Jewish Law," by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried (translated by
-#    Hyman E. Goldin):
-#
-#       Beginning with the Sunday [**] before Rosh Hashanah [***],
-#       we rise early for the service of Selichot (supplications for
-#       forgiveness).  If Rosh Hashanah occurs on Monday or Tuesday, we
-#       begin saying the Selichot from the Sunday of the preceding week.
-#
-#    This, too, varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar and, thus,
-#    two explicit timezone rules are required for each Gregorian year.
-#
-#    [**] actually Saturday night as the Jewish day commences at nightfall.
-#    [***] the Jewish Lunar New Year.

-# 
-# The information from Tom Hofmann is (as far as I know) not entirely correct.
-# After a request from chongo at amdahl I tried to retrieve all information
-# about DST in Europe.  I was able to find all from about 1969.
-# 
-# ...standardization on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on
-# first Sunday in April and last Sunday in September...
-# In 1981 UK joined Europe insofar that
-# the starting day for both shifted to last Sunday in March.  And from 1982
-# the whole of Europe used DST, with switch dates April 1 and October 1 in
-# the Sov[i]et Union.  In 1985 the SU reverted to standard Europe[a]n switch
-# dates...
-# 
-# It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g.
-# Portugal switched in 1976 from MET (or CET) to WET with DST...
-# Note also that though there were rules for switch dates not
-# all countries abided to these dates, and many individual deviations
-# occurred, though not since 1982 I believe.  Another note: it is always
-# assumed that DST is 1 hour ahead of normal time, this need not be the
-# case; at least in the Netherlands there have been times when DST was 2 hours
