# For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations. # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
# LMT Local Mean Time # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
# -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used) # but Mark R V Murray <markm@iafrica.com> reports that
# 0:00 WAT West Africa Time # `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
# 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time # `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
# 2:00 SAT South Africa Time # `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
#
# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
#
# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
# until we get more information.
#
# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
# 2:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
# 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
# 3:00 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
# 3:00 EAT East Africa Time # 3:00 EAT East Africa Time
# The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'. # 4:00 EAST East Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
# BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after.
