This third time zone abbreviation list update has been made possible with the help of the following people: Stephen J. Walick <steve@nshore.ncoast.org> pointed out the dateok.c function in C news. Geoff Collyer <geoff@world.std.com> and Henry Spencer of C News fame (Geoff authored the dateok.c function, along with Mark Moraes and Rich Walies via Rayan Zachariassen) Jon Postel <postel@venera.isi.org> sent me information compiled by Gary Dixon <GDixon@HIS-PHOENIX-MULTICS.ARPA>, Jim Falksen <Falksenj@HIS-PHOENIX-MULTICS.ARPA> and Gary M. Palter <Palter@HIS-PHOENIX-MULTICS.ARPA> of the Multics project, and John Colville of NSWIT, Australia. This compilation includes two references: Dobyns, Zipporah Pottenger, Ph.D. and MacGregor, Marcian B. "The Astrology Annual Reference Book." 1981. Michelsen, Neil F. "The American Ephemeris, 1971 to 1980." Nickolay Saukh <nms@jvd.msk.su> of JV Dialogue, Moscow, USSR supplied information about Moscow time zones. The anonymous authors of the BSD timezone() function Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> provided copious comments and also pointed me at Arthur David Olson's timezone database in SunOS 4.1's /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo. Arthur David Olson compiled a timezone database in SunOS 4.1. David Wilson <david@wyvern.cs.uow.edu.au> and <mark@comp.vuw.ac.nz> provided information on the times zones for Australia and New Zealand. Trin Tantsetthi, ISE/Thailand <trin@tlaeng.enet.dec.com> supplied information about Thailand Standard Time. Compiler's apology: please note that I don't endorse the use of time zone abbreviations in mail headers. Some entries of this list are a reflection of non-standard abbreviations in current mail headers -- e. g., BRA, MEX, ITA -- and others acknowledge abbreviations that were once used and are now obsolete -- e. g., AT, BT, CCT, MT.
